The Sand Dollar Island tour, timed for the end of the day. We watch for dolphins on the way out, stop at Sand Dollar Island to collect sand dollars, horse conchs, shark eyes and tulip shells, then cruise back to St. Pete Beach as the sun goes down over the water.

Sand Dollar Island is a half-mile sandbar off Fort De Soto and the Shell Key Preserve. The boat has a restroom and a bar on board, with beer, wine, mixed drinks, soft drinks and snacks for purchase.

Pickups are on the beach behind Sirata Beach Resort and The Luce, and at Shrimpy's Dock on Blind Pass Road, where parking is free. Shrimpy's is the last pickup and the last drop-off.
