My wife and I used to go there every New Years . We would stay at the Buccaneer. We would eat at Finis and then go to the big Bonfire on the beach and ring in the New Year.

life moved on and got busy and now we hardly ever do anything but visit her relatives in Georgia for our vacations now. It's a damn shame.


I lived there for several years and grew up right down the road. Finnis is no longer there. They bulldozed it and put up those ugly 2 story shotgun houses up.
St. George, Apalachicola and Carabelle are awesome if you like laid back, non tourist trap and no traffic. If you like PCB and Destin you'll hate St. George. It's not for everybody. If you don't take a boat you've made a mistake. Great fishing and scallop in in St. Joe right down the road is a lot of fun especially for the kids. My favorite there is to stay in the cabins on the peninsula. They are in the state park and book quickly. I've got one booked this year. Usually have to book a year in advance due to limited cabins and crazy demand.
