Its white sand beach for miles by hwy 30A. And right around sunrise and sunset you get some very nice Light

Much of St. George Island on Florida's Gulf coast has its native eco-system of dunes, marsh, and pine forest preserved in a state park.

St. Andrews State Park may not be much of a secret but did you know that you can catch the sunrise on one side of the #beach and the sunset on the other? Pretty cool! And with some luck you can even get the pelicans to make you a smiley face.
