#1 Beach In Florida




 

State Park Beach Named #1!

As you unwind this Memorial Day weekend on the sugar-white sand beaches of St. George Island’s Dr. Julian G. Bruce State Park in Florida's Panhandle, rest assured you are lying on the best beach in the United States! So says Dr. Stephen Leatherman (Dr. Beach) who recently ranked the beaches of this 1,962-acre state park Number One in the nation for 2023. 

This is the 10th year that the beach park located at the east end of St. George Island, has made Dr. Beach’s list. Congratulations to the fine ranger staff at the state park who keep it so nice for all of us!

Beaches. The park offers nine miles of some of the most pristine beaches along the Gulf coast of Florida. Visitors can access four miles of beach along the park's main drive. The park has six large picnic shelters equipped with grills, tables and nearby restrooms. 

The last five miles to the East Pass are accessible only by special permit obtained at the Ranger Station.
