This 150 foot long old tar barge sits in 20 feet of water on the northwest corner of Shell Island inside St. Andrews Bay near the Spanish Shanty cove (hence the wreck's name). She holds a good assortment of marine life including sheepshead, banded tulip, and mullet. Visibility in the area ranges from five to 20 feet. This wreck is also known as the Tar Barge.
