St. George Island
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.
Wildlife abounds on the island. In fact, the large variety of shorebirds will delight even the most jaded birdwatcher. Shell collectors will enjoy miles of near primitive white sand beaches, scattered with treasures deposited by the gentle ocean surf. Nine miles of undeveloped beaches and dunes, surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico and Apalachicola Bay, provide the perfect setting for St. George Island State Park. Occupying 1,962 acres at the end of St. George is a combination of sandy coves, salt marshes, shady pines and oak forests. One of over 500 refuges in a national system, St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge encompasses over 90 million acres of wildlife habitat managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services. St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge is a 12,358 acre underdeveloped barrier island located just off the western tip of St. George Island. Cape St. George State Reserve (known locally as Little St. George Island), is located in the island chain between St. Vincent's and St. George Islands, and is accessible only by boat. Cape St. George Lighthouse is located at the tip of the island's cape.
