St George Island

 

  This peaceful picture was taken at the government dock on little St. George Island. Boomerang shaped St. George Island used to be  approximately 29 miles long until around 1954, when the Army Corps of Engineers cut a channel west of center to allow boats to get out into the Gulf of Mexico more quickly. Now St. George Island is smaller (20 miles), leaving Little St. George Island (9 miles).

Separating the two islands is the manmade pass known as Bob Sikes Cut. Unfortunately, you cannot cross the pass from big St. George Island unless you're a property owner or guest at one of the many vacation rental units located on St. George Plantation. little St. George Island has miles of untouched  white sandy beach ideal for shell hunting with primitive camping available at either end of the island.

 Little St. George Island used to be the home to three lighthouses, with the last one placed out of service because of hurricane damage.  Most recently this lighthouse has been reconstructed on St. George Island so that it may be viewed by the public. Easily accessible by boat from boat ramps conveniently located either in Apalachicola, St. George Island, or Eastpoint. With plenty of deep water access the inner coastal waterway runs parallel with St. George Island, and from the mouth of the Apalachicola River at Apalachicola, due South to Bob Sykes cut.

.

This pristine environment is located just 10 miles away and is a great getaway for a relaxing day trip to view nature's best. This photo was taken from the Bayside at the old government dock, and you can easily enter the Gulf of Mexico through Bob Sykes cut to get to the other side. There are no vacation rental units on the side of Bob Sykes cut nor any other part of little St. George Island.
