What island on the coast of Florida is best to vacation on? Amelia Island, or Ana Maria Island?

My family wants to go on a vacation, and it is sort of last minute. Our choices are either Amelia Island or Ana Maria Island. I don't really know which one to choose. Can you help me?

1. For a family vacation, I’d rather be at St. George Island in Florida, a barrier Island off the coast of Apalachicola and Eastpoint. This beach is family-friendly and is far from the maddening crowds. I spent some of my summers here with my family and since we live in a big city, we instantly felt relaxed in the laid-back, peaceful and pristine environment. We rented a nice vacation home overlooking the beach and we had a great time engaging in water sports, nature activities and sightseeing. We loved the historic city of nearby Apalachicola as well as their oysters which were the best we’ve ever tasted. Check out other things you can do at St. George Island.
