Situated on the northwest Gulf Coast in Franklin County is one of Florida’s most historic port cities. Taking its name from a tribe of Native Americans who once called this place home, Apalachicola is said to mean “land of friendly people.” It was established in 1831, quickly becoming a bustling port town for shipping cotton. By the end of the century, it was an important center for seafood processing and the oyster industry. Today, Apalachicola is a popular destination for travelers who come to enjoy the town’s historic architecture, unique culture, and beautiful natural scenery. This is a place I fell in love with my first trip here more than a decade ago. And you will too once you experience it. On this episode, I’m showing you the 10 best things to see and do in Apalachicola.

I fell in love with this town. Its old school architecture meets new and beautiful shops. So many cute beachy shops!! And the appalachicola coffee shop is incredible. The beaches are ZEN. Truly an otherworldly level of relaxation, and there are so many beaches. Its so regenerative and peaceful.

Thank you for mentioning the origin of the towns name from the Natives who occupied the land, it’s crazy how many places are named after Native American tribes, Native words, or even people throughout the US

That was a great video! We were there today for a quick un-planned visit and loved it! We are out camping on the island (so great) and really appreciated all of the info you provided. Now we are better prepared to go back and really enjoy tomorrow.

Gentrification is ruining the charm of Apalachicola. It is NOT the same Apalachicola of years gone by.

One of my top favorite drives in Florida is US 98 from Panama City to Panacea. It kind of has a Florida Keys vibe. Apalachicola is a great base camp to explore the area. Three climbable lighthouses (Port St. Joe, St. George Island and Carrabelle), an old British fort site near Sumatra and so much more. Looking forward to seeing more of what you find in the Panhandle, and reminiscing about the trips I've taken there.

When the St. Joe Co. was allowed to acquire and relocate waterfront U.S. 98 inland, from slightly west of the Dixie Belle Motel proceeding to St. Joe Beach, that scenic drive that I grew up enjoying has been lost forever due to greedy developers. Money talks. Port St. Joe was a paper mill town for decades. Everything in Port St. Joe was connected to St. Joe Paper Mill until the mill permanently closed in one way or another, other than the fishing, and a small amount of tourism. That stinking mill was an environmental disaster. There is layers of toxic sludge on the bottom of the bay today near the mill site and the ground is so toxic there it can't be developed. Dioxin kills.

Nice vid of Apalachicola! You missed the Franklin Cafe and Gibson Hotel, the Coombs Inn is amazingly historic, and you totally forgot Cape San Blas and the State Park on the north end of the strand!

I always wondered about this town. It seems so small and out of the way on the map.

I think that’s the charm of Apalachicola. It takes a while to get there and when you arrive, it’s far enough away from everything else it makes you appreciate the small things and never want to leave. Hope you and the fam are doing well!
