St. George Island, Florida is a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico bordered by Apalachicola Bay in Franklin County, connected to the mainland by a bridge. St. George Island is the heart of Florida’s Forgotten Coast. Noted for its 22 miles of white sand beaches, nearly one-third of the island is the Julian G. Bruce State Park and other state-owned lands. There’s a small commercial area in the center of the island with restaurants, shops and stores. Real estate on St. George Island is primarily single family beach homes; waterfront lots are also available. Most of the vacation beach homes rent by the week to tourists from around the world. On the mainland is Apalachicola, a small coastal town full of historic homes and a working waterfront. Carrabelle is the boating center of Franklin County. Seafood, tourism and real estate are the main industries on St. George Island, in Apalachicola and throughout Franklin County.
