My Favorite Vacation Spot

    St. George Island, Florida

Located just across the bay from historic Apalachicola, Florida, St. George Island offers the area's choicest beach vacation accommodations. This twenty-nine mile stretch of paradise is no wider than a mile at it's widest point, providing access to both the seafood rich waters of Apalachicola Bay, and the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. 

St. George Island has strict building codes which restricts the maximum height of building and low density zoning regulations have preserved the beauty of St. George.    There is no high rise here!

So uncrowded that even in the height of the tourist season you can pick your own 100 yards of one of the best beaches in the world.

St. George Island State Park occupies the far eastern end of the island where you will find nine miles of pristine shoreline, majestic dunes, bay forest, sandy coves and salt marshes. The park has a series of hiking trails, boardwalks and observation platforms. Bird watching is a popular activity here. You might encounter one of the many migratory birds that use the island as a stopover on their way south or north.
