Carrabelle
Located east of Apalachicola on the Gulf of Mexico, the fishing village of Carrabelle would blend nicely into the Florida Keys or even Cape Cod. Carrabelle's port offers safe harbor to pleasure boats and fishing vessels. Oh, you prefer a more intimate relationship with the Gulf? Then visit beaches near Carrabelle on St. George Island, Dog Beach, Dog Island and one right on the edge of town. As you stroll through the compact downtown, don’t miss the "World’s Smallest Police Station." Also plan to stop at the Crooked River Lighthouse, three miles west of Carrabelle. This blink-and-you'll-miss-it, red and white, iron and steel lighthouse has stood on this spot since 1895.
