Along the coast near the historic lighthouse, which is undergoing renovations this year, a narrow trail will lead you to a strip of white sandy beach.
And, yes, those are real alligators, so keep your distance and don’t feed them. Miles of winding nature trails take you along the refuge’s freshwater impoundments and saltwater marshes through some of the wildest areas of the Big Bend. It’s a mere 25 miles south of the Capitol and costs $5 per carload at the gate. Marks National Wildlife Refuge is the place for you. Marks National Wildlife Refuge: Looking for a switch from the usual, heavily trodden beach destinations? Then the St. Apalachicola also still looks like itself and has not had an asphalt/strip mall makeover like other coastal towns in North Florida. As a bonus, the quaint town of Apalachicola is just across the bridge and it’s packed with some fine restaurants (try The Owl Cafe) and friendly bars (happy hour with the locals at the Gibson Inn is a hoot). George is an ideal place to hang out on the deck to eat fish, soak up some rays and sip a frozen drink. George Island State Park is a 9-mile strip of pristine dunes and raw Florida nature at its best. It has not yet been turned into another Condo Canyon (please see Panama City Beach entry on this list). This barrier island, about a 90-minute drive to nearby Franklin County, boasts one of the most gorgeous, white-sand beaches in the state.
