St. George Island State Park Beach
You'll drive past the island's low-slung beach houses until the road ends at a weathered gate, where the sand turns powdery and the Gulf stretches uninterrupted. The dunes rise in soft ridges stitched with sea oats, and at your back, salt marsh hums with wading birds. This is Florida before the condo towers.
