St. George Island
 | If you would like to experience a beach community in Florida unspoiled by high rises and heavy density, then you must visit St. George Island, Florida. St. George Island is a 28-mile barrier island with some of the most beautiful beaches on the Gulf Coast. It is one of the last unspoiled barrier islands of Florida, with miles of uncrowded beaches for sunning and shelling and clear Gulf waters for swimming and fishing. |
The Dr. Julian G. Bruce State Park sits on the east end of St. George Island and contains a series of boardwalks and hiking trails from which to enjoy tranquil and unique scenery. St. George Island State Park has nine miles of undeveloped beaches and dunes – the longest beachfront park in the state of Florida. Sandy coves, salt marshes, oak and pine forests provide shelter for a variety of wildlife, including bald eagles and ospreys. |

Apalachicola
Photo by Richard Bickel | Just over the bridge from St. George Island, is the quaint town of Apalachicola. It was established in 1831 and shipping cotton was a big industry and it soon became the third largest port on the Gulf of Mexico. Today, oysters and seafood are its biggest industry. Franklin County harvests more than 90% of Florida's oysters and 10% of the oysters consumed in the nation. The tree-lined streets with Victorian homes compliment the historic city. It is fun to explore the unique galleries, antique shops and of course the oyster shacks. And the Apalachicola River and Bay provide great fishing opportunities for both fresh and salt water fishing buffs. |

Carrabelle
There is a unique charm about the peaceful little village of Carrabelle. Located in the panhandle of Florida, Carrabelle offers some of the best fishing on the coast. Additionally, people come to sail, snorkel, scuba dive, scallop, and play on the untouched beaches. |
