Editor's take

A 4.8/5 rating with 3,038 reviews and consistent praise for uncrowded beaches, shelling, and the friendly ferry/staff make it a top Baywire pick.

What visitors say

Visitors consistently praise the uncrowded, clean beaches, clear water, shell hunting, and the enjoyable ferry ride (often with dolphins), with few complaints noted.

A “truly untouched” boat-access Gulf Coast island with uncrowded white-sand beaches, clear water, and great shelling. Ferry ride often brings dolphin sightings.
