St. George Island State Park, Florida
St. George Island (also known as Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park) is a 22 mile barrier island. A barrier island is a long, thin, sandy stretch of land, oriented parallel to the mainland coast that protects the coast from the full force of powerful storm waves. There are 20 miles of beach on the gulfside and miles of marsh, inlets and oyster bars on the bayside.
