Critter Corner - Bottlenose Dolphins: Stars of Panama City Beach

PANAMA CITY BEACH, FL - When you think of marine life in Panama City Beach, Florida, bottlenose dolphins likely come to mind. These intelligent and playful creatures are often seen here in St. Andrews Bay and off Shell Island. Panama City Beach is one of the best places to witness their acrobatic displays, majestic beauty and fun behaviors. We often see them in large pods on our Flippin Awesome Adventures tours.

Some fun facts about bottlenose dolphins include: They can live over 60 years, eat up over 40 pounds of fish a day, and that they turn half their brain off at a time to “sleep”.

That's a lot of fish as pods can reach up to 100 animals. So be on the lookout for these amazing creatures while you are at the beach, and as always…. Stay Flippin Awesome.
