Things to Do in St. George Island State Park

1. Relax on the Beach

The park has miles of unspoiled, white-sand beaches, making it one of the best spots on the Forgotten Coast for sunbathing, shelling, or just unwinding. The crowds are minimal compared to other Florida beaches, so you can claim a quiet spot and enjoy the sound of the waves.

What to See and Do in Silver Springs, Florida

 

Silver Springs State Park is one of the largest artesian springs in the world. The springs are fed by more than 30 underwater vents, creating clear waters teeming with fish and aquatic life. 

We explored several springs, and this one was by far the most crowded (we visited in January).
