I am meeting a friend halfway between here and Ocala soon, and am looking for recommendations about somewhere to go. We are considering Tallahassee
and Carrabelle. Any thoughts on where to go, where to stay? Any experience with the beaches and towns around Carabelle? Thanks for your help.

There is an Inn in Carabelle that I looked into recently. The chamber of commerce directed them to me when I left an inquirey with the chamber. It looked interesting and old florida...nothingfancy. There is a condo on the harbor with boat slips as well. Google Carabelle.....Good luck! I love Carabelle and Dog Island.

If I remember Carabelle is a lot like banjo country on crack. Things may have changed, but if your not familiar with the area check out the lodge at Wakulla Springs.

If you're thinking Carabelle, might as well go all the way to Apalachicola- cool bed & breakfasts, fresh oysters, and some near restaurants and shops.

Tallahassee has a couple of nice museums, but it more of a working town than a tourist destination. (If you do go there though, take a drive westbound on Apalachee Parkway going toward the state capitol and enjoy the imagery involving our fine state government)
