About this site
St Andrews State Park sits at the eastern end of Panama City Beach, Florida, where a jetty of large rocks lines the channel connecting the Gulf of Mexico to St Andrews Bay. The jetties are a popular shore diving and snorkeling spot, with the rock structure creating habitat along the channel edge and calmer conditions typically found on the bay side. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 12.2 metres and is rated a beginner dive, making it accessible for those new to diving as well as snorkelers, though divers should stay aware of boat traffic in the channel. It draws a mix of tropical fish, occasional rays, and other small reef life that gathers around the rocks.
