Is there anything cool to do in or around Apalachicola?

oh i can relate, we had a nice family let us use their dock, after walking through the bay, and drove us back to our place, while someone waited w/ the boat until we could get it back. we were in a flat bottom carolina skiff.

Been there done that!! During low tide, you could run a rubber raft aground!!!

That's why I prefer to just walk the bay for scallops.

I think standing calf deep in water 400 yards from any land with thunderstorms in the distance is pretty adventurous. Of course when our raft gets caught on the bottom it just means we aren't drinking the beer out of the cooler fast enough.

I have a fuzzy photo of the bungalows on Black's Island. Taken last year. No people as of then. I will post in the member photo gallery.

And shallow is an apt description of the bay. Nearly beached our boat in short order after snapping the pic of Black's. We were coming back across the bay from the state park. Stayed out on the point too long. Wind advisory, tide change on a shallow bay and our 21' Yahama do not mix. We learned a lot on that trip.

one of the best places ever.

Not to mention the bull sharks.

We paid a vist last week for the first time and really enjoyed walking around and visiting all the shops. Next time, we are going to St George Island as well.

I don't think there have been any reported shark attacks in St. Joe Bay, but beware of the stingrays...they are everywhere and the closest hospital is in Panama City. We found out the hard way that the hospital in St. Joe was closed down.

Instead of seeing a doctor, we went back to our rental house and administered tylenal and crown royal until I could get home a few days later. Turned out to be a good trip.......:shock:
