Weekend Getaway - St. George Island

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. This old Florida getaway offers a refreshing change of scenery and connection with nature. Immerse yourself in the serene Gulf Coast lifestyle.

First stop on Thursday is Wakulla Springs State Park where you will embark on a 45-55 minute boat tour with a box-lunch included. Next destination is The Buccaneer Inn, Eastpoint FL. The Buccaneer is conveniently located on the beach and within walking distance of local restaurants and shops or you can rent a golf cart to get around. Dinner is on your own Thursday evening. The stunning colorful hues of the setting sun provide excellent photo ops.

On Friday morning, discover the diverse ecosystems of the region while visiting the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve. After the Reserve, join the festivities at the 62nd Annual Seafood Festival in Battery Park. Enjoy fresh Florida seafood and festival activities. Later in the afternoon, a tour through the Raney House Museum exposes you to history of the area. Dinner is on your own Friday evening.
