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 even encounter one of the many migratory birds that use the island as a stopover on their way south or north.

St. George Island is one of the few beaches in Florida that welcomes pets. This sparsely populated paradise offers wonderful opportunities for you and your special friends. Dogs on leash are allowed on the beaches, however, they are not allowed on the beaches, trails, or boardwalks in St. George State Park. Dog Owners can be fined in the state park.

Sail or powerboats are available for rent, or rent a kayak and explore the remote bays and inlets where you might catch a glimpse of a bald eagle over head or a dolphin swimming in the surf. Rent a bike and ride the paved bike trail or head down to the state park for off road trails.

Take a break from the beach and visit the great shops on St. George Island that carry everything from beach gear, clothing, gifts and books to gourmet treats, original artwork and jewelry. As an additional treat, stop off for a refreshing fresh fruit smoothie, a cup of gourmet coffee or some ice cream.
