Saint George (Florida)

St. George is a small island connected by bridge to the mainland on Florida's Forgotten Coast. St. George has a tiny town surrounded by a sprinkling of vacation homes and a state park in the dunes.

St. George is a good escape from the rat race. If you like a Florida that is not "touristy" at all, you will love St. George.

By car
From US 98, go south on County Road 300 in Eastpoint. In about a mile you will reach the Bryant Patton Bridge. Enjoy the 4-mile drive to the island, which is reminiscent of the Seven Mile Bridge in the Florida Keys.

See

 * Spectacular sunsets
 * Pristine beaches

Do
There is good fishing on the bay side.

Eat
There are fewer than a half dozen places to eat (don't miss Finney's) but you are in driving distance of several eating spots off the island.

Sleep
There are a couple of hotels, but nearly all travelers rent a house. The locals, and there are not many, are very nice and accommodating.
