St. George Island

Weekend Getaway to Relax, Rejuvenate, Re-energize

Embrace the laid-back pace, unspoiled nature, and sugar-white sand beaches of St George Island, a 22-mile barrier island located in the Apalachicola region off the coast of the Florida Panhandle. Your�mini vacation is a blend of mellow leisurely activities, amazing scenic views and lively local experiences. This Old Florida getaway offers a refreshing change of scenery and connection with nature.

Your first stop is Wakulla Springs State Park where we will embark on a 45-55 relaxing Jungle Cruise through one of the largest and deepest freshwater springs in the world (box lunch included). The Buccaneer Inn, Eastpoint FL, the island's only beachfront hotel, is your next destination and is conveniently located within walking distance of local restaurants and shops. Rent a golf cart if you prefer to drive. Dinner is on your own Friday evening. The stunning colorful hues of the setting sun provide an excellent opportunity for photos.

On Saturday morning, discover the diverse ecosystems of the region while visiting the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve, Eastpoint, FL. The 246,000-acre reserve is a protected area dedicated to the study, preservation, and stewardship of the unique estuarine and coastal ecosystems in the Apalachicola Bay region. Dinner and live music is planned for the evening at Paddy's Raw Bar. Paddy's specializes in seafood sourced directly from the nearby waters of Apalachicola Bay.

In the morning on Sunday, depart for your journey home, stopping at the Golden Corral for lunch in our state capital Tallahassee.
