Manager's Message
Power has been restored to St. George Island.
As the Gulf water temperatures increase with a beautiful summer, so do the number of visitors to the park. Luckily, there are nine miles of white sand beaches to find a place to rest and enjoy a break from work or school. For those who prefer shade to sun there are miles of trails through the pines to keep you occupied. Birds are plentiful, as well as flora and fauna. Both single and double kayaks are now available for daily rental. Ask the ranger at the office for more information. With sunny weather the fishermen are becoming as abundant as the fish themselves. Come enjoy the experience at St. George Island State Park.
The campground is filling up quickly so be sure to make your reservations soon. Reservations can be made online at http: www.reserveamerica.com or by phone 1-800-326-3521.
For park updates or other information, please call our office at (850)927-2111.

Welcome to Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park
Miles of undeveloped beaches and emerald waters provide the perfect setting for this park. The park offers ample opportunities for sunbathing, swimming, canoeing, boating, hiking, camping, and nature study. Two boat ramps provide access to Apalachee Bay where anglers can fish for flounder, redfish, sea trout, pompano, whiting, and Spanish mackerel. Few parks offer better opportunities for gulf coast shelling. Shore birds such as the snowy plover, least tern, black skimmer, and willet often nest along the park´s sandy shores and grass flats. The park has six large picnic shelters equipped with grills, tables, and restrooms. The campground features full-facility campsites; a primitive campsite can be accessed by trail or by private boat. Located on St. George Island, 10 miles southeast of Eastpoint, off U.S. 98.
