St. George Island State Park Beach Ranked #4 Best Beach Nationwide for 2021

Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park has been named #4 of Dr. Beach’s Top 10 Beaches in the U.S.  Dr. Beach, Dr. Stephen Leatherman, is one of the world’s foremost beach experts.  He uses a specific strategy and checklist to rate America’s beaches.

“This long barrier island, far from urban areas, is a favorite destination for beachgoers, anglers, and bird watchers as nature abounds.  Besides swimming in the crystal-clear water, I enjoy beachcombing and shelling.  While St. George Island suffered a big hit in 2018 by Hurricane Michael, the area has substantially recovered, especially the sugary fine, white sand beach.  There is much to explore on this serene 2,023-acre park,” according to the Dr. Beach website drbeach.org.

The St. George Island State Park Beach is one of a string of many beaches in Franklin County.  In total, Franklin County features more than 250 miles of pristine, untouched beaches.  With no hustle-bustle box stores or high-rise hotels, it’s no wonder so many visitors love coming, again and again, year after year.  The beautiful wildlife and Gulf views never get old.
