St. James City’s slogan is “escape the usual” and for good reason! When you embark on your journey into the island, you will begin to notice a more “country feel” as you leave behind the palm trees and start experiencing the historical Pine Island pine woods.
You can swing by the Pine Island feed store and pick up some fresh eggs before popping into the Ragged Ass Saloon where you can “Come by boat, come by bike, come buy beer!”
In addition to the olde time country feel, another reason St. James City is so unique is the Galt Preserve — a beautiful and refreshing visit through miles of boardwalks and hiking trails as well as a scenic fishing pier and picnic pavilions perfect for a relaxing day out in nature. Bird watchers from all over the world flock to (Get it? Pun intended!) St. James City to sight the extensive varieties of birds and other wildlife.
Whether you want to go deep sea fishing or spend the day relaxing in Charlotte Harbour or Pine Island Sound catching some snapper or snook, St. James City is the perfect spot! Once you’re ready to call it a day, dock your boat at Woody’s Waterside or The Waterfront Restaurant and get dinner with a view that’s too beautiful to put into words!
