St. George Island State Park
If you are looking for miles of natural, undeveloped beaches and plenty of outdoor activities, check out St. George Island State Park. Popular activities here include swimming, sunbathing, boating, fishing, camping and just enjoying nature. Dolphins are a common sight as are numerous species of shore birds and sea turtles in the summer months.
You can come and stay awhile with both electric and primitive campsites conveniently located inside the park.
Caladesi Island State Park
Caladesi Island State Park preserves one of the only remaining undeveloped islands along the Gulf Coast of Florida. The beautiful white-sand beaches attract visitors looking to enjoy sunbathing, beachcombing and swimming. There are also both paddling and hiking trails on the island, offering plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife and enjoy the natural surroundings.
