St. George Island Vacation: Activities For Everybody |
|
What makes St. George Island stand out from the other beach destinations? For one, it is really unique being a barrier island that is full of sealife and exciting activities like no other place in the world. Even kids can have a good time searching the many attractions that make the location popular for tourists.
The island has such a small population that a great part of this destination is committed to tourism. There are several great activities a family can do when having a vacation in St. George Island such as biking or skating along some 8 miles of bike path. However, due to the bulk of people in summertime, the path is actually extended to the State Park so that there will be enough room for many bikers and hikers that roam in the island during this season.
For kids, turtles may be interesting creatures to watch. There are presentations at the firehouse in 324 Pine Avenue on Wednesdays. They will surely love to know more about how turtles live and are at risk in today’s environment. Adults too, can obtain more knowledge on the habitat of turtles, so it would be an educational tour for both the young and old.
Go fishing with your family. Contact the charter boat people in the area to bring you to the spot where you can easily catch fish. Or you can simply put your fishing line from the old bridge or in the shores of the Gulf. Pretty sure, there are plenty of fishes that will bite into your bait in no time.
If you’re fascinated with lighthouses, visit the Lighthouse Museum or the Cape St. George Lighthouse. You will find lots of interesting things to know about lighthouses and you certainly can get the real feel of what a lighthouse is from the top.
On a cloudless night, if you’re lucky, take your kids to go star gazing. Watch stars paint the sky with glitter. In St. George Island, you’d realize that the stars seem to be nearer from where you are. This is due to the lack of obstruction and the skies can be profuse with stars and constellations. Tell them to take note of different star formations like the Big Dipper, if you can identify it to them.
Take your pet for a stroll on the beach. There are vacation rental homes that allow pets to live with visitors. Just ask for these specific places to stay from St. George Island Vacation Properties.
