Anyone who wants to disappear into a natural paradise for an afternoon, surrounded by turquoise water and pristine, sandy beach, can head on over to St. George Island in Florida. Located right off North Florida’s Gulf Coast, St. George Island clocks in at 28-miles and is one of the last inhabited and unspoiled barrier islands in the state. Sounds pretty dreamy already, right? Just wait until you see what’s in store.
St. George Island, Florida is a little slice of paradise along North Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Visitors to this 28-mile barrier island often head there to snag some peace and quiet in one of the only areas of Florida that is still tranquil and brimming with nature as intended.
St. George Island is protected by low-density zoning, which when paired with strict building codes means that no high rises of chain businesses are allowed.
Anyone looking to spend a whole weekend on this island can visit the St. George Island State Park campground to set up a tent and enjoy the surrounding nature trails.
