What should I bring for a boat rental or waverunner tour?
For boat rentals, a cooler is a must. Remember that there are no concessions on Shell Island, and the sand, sun and water tend to make everyone extra hungry and thirsty! The usual beach equipment (towels, sunscreen, hats) is a great idea as well. Some people bring beach chairs, floats, fishing rods, bait and more. Just be sure to save room on the boat for the people! We DO NOT recommend bringing video cameras, and you may want to consider purchasing a disposable waterproof camera instead of bringing your nice, expensive one. Finally, you will not need money on Shell Island, so we recommend locking your valuables in your car. We can keep your car keys if you like–taking your keys on the boat can be risky since it s not uncommon to lose them to the surf or sand. If you are over 15 years of age and plan on fishing, you WILL need to purchase a fishing license before you arrive at our location. Remember, there are no restroom facilities on Shell Island, so plan accordingly. AS A SAFETY PRE
