On the sun-drenched shores of St. George Island, just off Florida’s Gulf Coast, getting around means more than just walking—it's about embracing the island vibe with some wheels beneath you. Journeys of St. George Island offers a fun and practical way to see everything this coastal paradise has to offer: a fleet of modern gas-powered golf carts, seating six, designed specifically for island adventures. These EZ-GO models, all 2016 or newer, come equipped with all-terrain tires and a handy cooler, making them perfect for exploring the sandy trails, quaint neighborhoods, and scenic beaches.

The island’s charm lies in its relaxed pace, with quiet roads winding past salt marshes, fishing spots, and lighthouse views. Renting a golf cart here isn’t just about transportation; it’s about creating your own town-to-beach adventure. Whether cruising along the dunes, stopping at local cafes, or catching the sunset from a secluded spot, these vehicles make navigation easy and enjoyable.
