St. George Island is a 28-mile-long barrier island situated off Florida’s northern gulf coast. Although occupied by both residents and tourists, St. George nonetheless maintains a pristine, unspoiled feel, as it lacks chain stores and restaurants and high-rise hotels.

The island has both a county and a state park, and kayaking, cycling, and paddle boarding are especially popular here. The community is home to two lighthouses and several historic homes and museums. Its clear gulf waters make for excellent fishing, while the shoreline’s clean beaches provide the perfect environment for sunbathing and shelling. Additionally, pets are allowed at many of the island’s popular spots, including on some of its beaches.
