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.
