Apalachicola Florida

65 miles east of Panama City, 80 miles west of Tallahassee

Apalachicola, population 3500,  is a quaint sea side town with a rich history. The town sits on a bay where the Chattahoochee, Flint and Apalachicola Rivers discharge in to the Atlantic and the waters abound with marine life.

This area produces 90% of Florida's oyster crop, and shrimping and fishing are major industries. The town is a popular day trip from Panama City Beach and Tallahassee. The bays and estuaries are great for fishing and boating and there are several wildlife reserves in the area.

The pristine beaches on the 28 mile long (45 km) St. George Island, 7 miles (11km) from town, are among the nation's best.

In recent times, the town has been "discovered" with many of the old homes now restored to their former glory and opened as antique and gift shops. Over 250 buildings are listed on the National Register.

The pristine beaches on the 28 mile long (45 km) St. George Island, 7 miles (11km) from town, are among the nation's best.
