Majestic Jewel Inn of Apalachicola
Inn
👍👍 Do you recall the last time someone you know invited you to their home and left the door open for you while they were away? Those folks were the type who not only trusted you but wanted you to stay in their home. That's the feeling we received when we stayed at the Majestic Jewel.
The owners (Greg...

Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Another hidden gem along the forgotten coast. The center's exhibits and trails are free to visit and there is a ton to learning to be had here. An older Floridian stopped us at the end of the boardwalk, where the river meets the sea, to tell us that this is real Florida- no high-rises, just natural...

Apalachicola River Wildlife and Environmental Area
Nature preserve
👍 Beautiful scenery and very peaceful. It is much different than the tourist heavy, party places that you usually see. This place has more of the older buildings, without all the brand new sky scrapers and large condos. However, this allows for a more laid back experience.

Apalachicola City Dock
Park
👍👍 Was nice seeing the old shrimp boats up close. Lots of photo ops with the pelicans. They were interesting. Almost everyone we seen had their dog down there and so did we. All good.

Apalachicola Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve
Park
👍👍 Short little walk from a small parking area to the scenic bay shoreline. A good area for birding. There is also a picnic table. On rare occasions a large alligator can be seen sunning itself at the edge of the ponds!

Seafood Landing Park
Park
👍👍 We saw dolphins at dusk. So many little birds flying into roost. The rest rooms were open and good. It's very quiet and serene and see both ways out to the golf of Mexico.

Lafayette Park
Park
👍 This park still has that old south charm. Very nostalgic. It good to see that the tourist industry has not got its hands on it and destroyed it Sometimes money will ruin a place.

Box-R Wildlife Management Area
Wildlife park
👍 The small kiosk off Tilton Road does not have immediate access to trails or roads but if you walk down the road you can access some of the roads that provide access to the wildlife management area. I walked the area in November and saw a pig and several cottonmouths. It was quiet and you can hear th...

Apalachicola Dog Park
Dog park
👍 It's plenty big enough for dogs small and large, and there are very welcome amenities like seating, the pile of tennis balls, paddling pool, water hoses, and drinking bowls. I just wish the grass was cut more frequently.
