Apalachicola/St. George Island/Carrabelle Apalachicola or “Apalach“, as it is known by locals, is far from a typical tourist town. Established in 1831, it was once the third largest port on the Gulf of Mexico. St. George Island is a 22-mile barrier island with some of the most beautiful and serene beaches on the Gulf Coast. It is one of the last inhabited, yet unspoiled, barrier islands of Florida, with miles of uncrowded beaches for sunning and shelling, clear Gulf waters for swimming and excellent fishing, The town of Carrabelle is a paradise for boaters with plenty of deep water boat slips and several marinas that offer fuel, provisions, bait and tackle. http://www.apalachicolabay.org/index.cfm/pageid/29/mt/Apalachicola/ http://www.apalachicolabay.org/index.cfm/pageid/31/mt/St.%20George%20Island/ http://www.apalachicolabay.org/index.cfm/pageid/70mt/Surrounding%20Areas/

St. Marks Wildlife Refuge This unique refuge was established in 1931 to provide wintering habitat for migratory birds. It is one of the oldest refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System. The refuge includes coastal marshes, islands, tidal creeks and estuaries of seven north Florida rivers, and is home to a diverse community of plant and animal life. The refuge also has strong ties to a rich cultural past, and is home to the St. Marks Lighthouse, which was built in 1832 and is still in use today. http://www.fws.gov/saintmarks/ http://www.wakullacountytdc.com/wakulla-9.htm
