Spent an unforgettable time at St. George Island State Reserve. 🌊 The white sand is beautiful, but nothing beats the night sky here. It’s one of the few places left where the light pollution is so low you can actually see the Milky Way with the naked eye. Pure magic!

Great primitive island for hiking or even camping. Take time to go to the Bayside and read the history of the old buildings buildings.
