We traveled to St. George's Island Saturday, about 25 miles from where we are camping. The island is a 20 mile long sliver of land just off the coast from Eastpoint , Florida. The island has a large State Park, a nature preserve and many shops, condos, and permanent and vacation homes. It has a historic lighthouse at the center of the island.
