Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park







Are you planing of visiting St. George Island?  If so, take a day to travel to the East end of the island and visit the beautiful Julian G. Bruce State Park.

With its miles of undeveloped beaches you have ample opportunities for sunbathing, swimming, canoeing, boating, hiking, camping and nature study. Two natural boat ramps provide access to the bay for small boats. Anglers can fish for flounder, redfish, sea trout, pompano, whiting, Spanish mackerel and other fish off the beach or in the bay

Do you like shelling??....well in our opinion there are few parks offer better opportunities for shelling.    


Sea turtles and shore birds such as the snowy plover, least tern, black skimmer and willet nest in the park during the summer


The park has six large picnic shelters equipped with grills, tables and nearby restrooms.








There is also a campground which features 60 full-facility campsites with water, electric, a central dump station and two bathhouses.   In addition, a primitive campsite can be accessed by a 2.5-mile trail or by canoe or kayak. 





The Park also features several annual special events throughout the year which include the Coffee in the Campground from December through March, Coastal Cleanup in September and The Oyster Festival and 5K Run in October.

This is a beautiful State Park and worth your time to explore...so come...spend a day...relax and have fun!
