Sunday January 12 – Sunrise

Glory! St George Island is awakening to something besides fog. Here are a few samples of the pictures I snapped at sunrise on this beautiful island. Often called the "forgotten island", it is amazing how far you can walk along the beach, especially in the state park, without seeing another person.

The island is a shell hunter's paradise. You can find more "keeper shells" in the first 50 yards of walking, than in half a mile on most beaches.  

Unusual birds abound. Sea turtles, alligators, and other wildlife are often seen here. In the winter, at least, things are laid-back and quiet. Surf fishing is productive and unusual species are caught frequently. Good catches of pompano, flounder, redfish, sea trout, whiting, and spanish mackerel are common.

There are numerous sea-food restaurants and interesting shops around the island. We plan to stop by St George Island again when we find ourselves in the area.

 

We have a few more days to spend here and then we plan to move on a little further south.
