Ok, I am adding to this existing thread, even though it is from a year ago almost, but my husband and I are coming in to PC Beach on the 28th of August. We plan on taking the Shell Island Shuttle out to Shell Island to stay a while one of the days. I noticed on their website that they stated coolers are welcome, but that they have a concession boat on the island also, and on their phone recording they stated they rent beach chairs and umbrellas. We have our own beach chairs and umbrellas we want to bring. Does anyone know if that is allowed? Cannot wait for our vacation. Thanks.
