St. George Island Real Estate and Seaside Living on Florida’s Pristine Barrier Coast Unspoiled shores, sea turtle sightings, and sunsets that stop time.
A crowded beach is something you won’t find on magnificent St. George Island. Instead, you’ll discover miles and miles of seaside charm and peaceful surfside strolls that can seem a world away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Wildlife is abundant, from nesting sea turtles to shore birds darting between the waves to graceful pelicans soaring high overhead… perfect companions for a peaceful morning walk or watching the sun set over the horizon at the end of the day.
There are no high rises on this unspoiled 22-mile-long barrier island and its beaches are perfect for family-friendly activities, including fishing, swimming, paddling, shelling, castle building and simply relaxing. A bicycle trail winds among the dunes from the Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park on the island’s eastern end to St. George Plantation on the western boundary. The gulf side offers visitors lots of beach to enjoy… and occasionally some surf in which to play. St. George Island also features an array of art galleries, boutiques, restaurants and charming shops. Meanwhile, nearby Apalachicola offers dining and shopping in a historic seaport environment.

Whether it’s swimming in the crystal-clear waters, beachcombing or collecting seashells, the island offers an array of activities to cater to every outdoor enthusiast. St. George Island State Park’s recreational options include kayaking, hiking, camping, fishing, swimming, boating, picnicking, birdwatching and sightseeing.
