The uninhabited nature preserve of Shell Island, a narrow barrier island accessible only by boat, is a popular spot shelling, swimming or just enjoying the beach. Access is via the Shell Island Shuttle. Several cruise boats go to Shell Island including some that offer a glass bottom for viewing. There is no shortage of rental boats available from the local marinas for exploring the local waterways. Jet boats, waverunners, inflatables, and other water sports equipment is available from several rental outlets. There are numerous cruises available. A favourite with children is the 2 hr swashbuckling cruise on the pirate ship replica, Sea Dragon. The Glass Bottom Boat, based at Treasure Island Marina, provides a popular narrated educational cruise that includes underwater viewing, dolphin spotting, bird feeding and a stop-over at Shell Island.
As with all the popular destinations in Florida, there is no shortage of golf courses. The area offers a variety of course layouts ranging from 72 hole championship play to 9 hole resort courses.
