Don't Forget the Forgotten Coast
Florida's Forgotten Coast is a registered trademark, coined in the early 1990s by the Apalachicola Bay Chamber of Commerce, referring to a relatively quiet and undeveloped section of coastline - stretching from Mexico Beach on the Gulf of Mexico, to St. Marks on Apalachee Bay.
It's always been one of our favorite areas to visit, meander, and camp - particularly at the extraordinary Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park on St. George Island, just off Apalachicola.
With Square Bottom's new toad in tow, Agip the Jeep, we once again took advantage of the wonderful shelling this barrier island has to offer. As you can see, even after one day it became difficult to find a place to sit and eat.
In some spots, what appeared to be shell banks were almost entirely composed of sand dollar fragments - something we'd not seen on our last visit here.
Since you never know what you'll find along the ocean, especially at St. George, make sure to keep a sharp eye out...
