Manager's Message

There’s a touch of fall in the air and it’s time to GO CAMPING! What better way to spend a weekend than relaxing at the beach. Whether you like to fish, go kayaking, bird watch, or look for shells on the beach, St. George Island State Park has something for everyone. For the birders out there, the Neo-Tropical migrants heading for their wintering grounds in Central and South America are starting to show. Many different types of raptors such as Peregrine Falcons, Marsh Hawks and Kestrels are also being spotted at this time.

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.

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.
