The motor hums and the handcrafted tiki slides across Lower Grand Lagoon, palms slipping past like pages in a sun-warmed book. Bright foam floats and a chilled cooler sit ready while the USCG-licensed captain eases the shallow-draft vessel toward Sandy Point — a white-sand shelf where dolphins often thread through the wake and shallow water invites ankle-deep lounging.

The motor hums and the handcrafted tiki slides across Lower Grand Lagoon, palms slipping past like pages in a sun-warmed book. Bright foam floats and a chilled cooler sit ready while the USCG-licensed captain eases the shallow-draft vessel toward Sandy Point — a white-sand shelf where dolphins often thread through the wake and shallow water invites ankle-deep lounging.
This stretch of St. Andrews Bay has long been a working coastline: barrier islands formed by tides and sediment give rise to shoals, sandbars and seagrass beds that support shrimping, sport fishing and the migratory birds that dot the horizon. The tiki experience taps that maritime culture — laid-back, music-forward, and built around the water rather than the shore.
Expect the practical: three hours aboard, room for six per tiki (two boats accommodate up to 12), BYOB with chilled water provided, and opportunities to snorkel, paddle, or park the boat at a sandbar for swimming and photos. Captains often position near clear shallow channels for easy floating, and they know the local currents and wildlife hotspots.
Plan for sun, spray and quick changes in weather: reef-safe sunscreen, a light wind layer, and reef shoes for sandbar bottoms will keep you comfortable. If beach rip currents are strong, this shallow-anchored cruise offers a safer way to play in the surf. Bring your own snorkel gear for the best fit, respect seagrass and wildlife, and leave no trace so the bay stays swimmable for seasons to come.
