Three days, your way.
An unhurried east-end itinerary
Day one · Arrive and exhale
Leave space for travel and settling in. Check your arrival instructions, unpack, and choose a meal close to the east end. Schooners or one of the Grand Lagoon restaurants can be part of the plan; confirm opening hours before you go.
Day two · Make it a beach day
Start with breakfast at Andy’s Flour Power or coffee at FINNS, then choose St. Andrews State Park or a public beach access. Check conditions first. Keep the evening flexible—dinner out or a meal in your own kitchen.
Day three · Choose your pace
Plan a Shell Island trip if the weather and boat schedule work for your group, or head toward Pier Park for shopping and an afternoon out. Check your checkout instructions and leave enough time for the trip home.
