Life’s a Beach at The Spindrift Sea Turtle! Reach out for August Specials!

Welcome to the Spindrift Sea Turtle (previously The Salty Sea Turtle), a family and pet friendly beachside townhome located in the community of 300 Ocean Mile! Enjoy access to a private beach on St. George Island and take in the beautiful crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico! Dip your toes in the sand and relax. If you need a break from the sand, take your pick and jump into 1 of 2 large pools located just mere steps from the back porch. Other island activities include onshore and offshore fishing, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, biking, bird watching, and exploring the St George Island State Park. If you get a chance to stay here in the summer, be sure to explore the beach at dawn to get a glimpse of the nesting sea turtles.

Fun Fact! According to Dr. Beach, St George Island was named the nation’s best beach for 2023. He ranks the nation’s top 10 public beaches every year out of 650 public beaches. He describes St. George Island as an “idyllic place” because of its natural beauty, lack of development (no high rises), abundant outdoor activities, and an “unparalleled view” of the night sky.

Hungry for a bite to eat? There are a variety of restaurants to indulge in from beachfront dining featuring freshly caught local seafood and live music to café style eateries for pubs or pizza at the island pizzeria. Prefer to cook at home? There are two grocery markets on the island with a great selection of meats and other items. Also, at only a stone’s throw away, take a quick hop and a skip to Apalachicola. Apalachicola is known for their dining, shopping, and festivals. In addition, it is home to the famous Oyster City Brewery. End your day by relaxing on one of 3 private balconies taking in the sunset or grilling dinner after a long fun filled day on the beach.
