Twenty-eight miles long and one mile wide, St George Island sits off the Florida Panhandle in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Known as “The Forgotten Coast,” St. George is one of the few Florida districts that allow dogs on the public beaches, in the state parks and on restaurant decks – provided that they are leashed and well behaved. Many vacation rentals are pet-friendly, too – and your furry friend will love the house rentals available here. From quaint beachfront cottages and seaside condos to luxurious island estates.
