Named one of the state's most important birding sites by Audubon of Florida, this undeveloped barrier island is known for excellent shelling, sunbathing and bird watching. Shell Key Preserve was established to protect the island as a nesting site and continue to allow its use as a recreational destination. Numerous boats offer sightseeing trips to Shell Key's recreation area for sunbathing and dolphin watching. Efforts to manage this area resulted in the creation of the Florida Birding Festival every fall, the largest urban bird watching festival in the nation.
