East End of St. George Island

In the mid 70’s the owner’s/developers (Leisure Properties) began selling off 5 acre Tracts on the Beach Side of Gulf Beach Drive and approximately 7-10 acre Tracts on the Bay Side. These Tracts were typically bought, and further subdivided into one-acre lots.

On the Beach side of Gulf Beach Dr. (also known as State Road 300) the roughly 300 foot by 750 foot, 5 acre parcels were typically subdivided into three 100 foot by 435 foot one acre Beach Front parcels with two “First Tier” lots behind the Beachfront lots. These first tier lots have the unique distinction of being on the Gulf Side of the road, so you can get to the beach without crossing a road.

Many people feel that the Beaches in the East End are the most attractive on St. George Island. Of course them would be fightin’ words to some of the Plantation folks who feel otherwise.

The Bay side of the East End is a beautiful area with lots of Pine Trees, and gorgeous views of St. George Island Sound. Just to the east, in the waters just off the State Park, are some of the best flats and shallow water fishing north of the Keys. There are several small, private, gated Bay front communities in the East End with community docks. Of course many private homes have their own docks as well. 300 Ocean Mile, a town home community of about 100 units is located near the State Park on the Beach Side of the road.

300 Ocean Mile has 1, 2, and 3 Bedroom Units, 2 Pools, Landscaped public areas, and wide dune walkovers to the beach. Just east of 300 Ocean Mile is Sunset Beach, a planned unit development of large Mediterranean style homes with a community pool, brick paved roads, gated entry, and views of both the Bay and Gulf.
