What to do in St George Island Florida?

[GlockSpeed31]

Hey gang, I'm heading to St. George Island, Fla in August with the family and In-Laws for a week and just checking for any suggestions of places to see, eating places and what not. Places to avoid, maybe?

Thanks in advance,

we went to St George about 5 yrs ago - not much to except the beach. There was a great pizza joint and ice cream parlor.

Fishing is GREAT there. In August, for tons of fun, sand sharks are real easy to catch. Grouper and Snapper just off the coast with Mahi Mahi and Kings thrown in the bag will keep you busy as well. We went fishing this passed Sunday and caught 13 fish that easily went over 100 lbs total. One Grouper that was over 20 lbs by itself. And the beaches of the "forgotten coast" are pretty amazing too. The best restaurant in the pan handle area is only about 25 minutes away. It's not overly expensive and it's built out over the water, makes for an excellent dining experience.

Thanks for the report. What was the name of the restaurant and where at? Did you go out on a boat or fish from the shore?

The name of the restaurant is called Angelo's & Sons. They own their own fleet of fishing boats, including shrimp boats. Everything seafood you eat there is fresh caught and on their boats. Angelo Petrandis is the guys name, a greek origin family and a master chef. The place was recently completely rebuilt as a hurricane destroyed it.

We went about 8 miles off the island to catch our fish. I own a 26' Stamas with twin Honda 130's so I get to go fishing when I can find the time. I would post some fishing pics, but I think that is a violation of forum rules.

At the East end of St. George is a National Park that you can go into for a small fee, $8 I think for the whole day. The fee is on the tires of the vehicle, so load up the whole family. It encompasses 1/2 the Island.
