| Looking for a Florida Destination away from the Hustle and Bustle? | |||
| Looking for a Florida Destination Away From the Hustle and Bustle? No Crowds: Walk the white sand beach, listen to the waves, spot birds, dolphins and all kinds of wildlife. Drive or hike the state or national forest and -- maybe not see one other human being. Out county building height limit prevents high-density population. No traffic lights: Something no other seacoast area we know can boast. No big city to close: Tallahassee and its airport is an hour away. Panama City is 2 hours and has a new international airport and welcomes Southwest Airlines. No heavy industry: Only small businesses, and some leading-edge newcomers:-St. James Health & Rehab Center (will employ 100)--A PGA-caliber golf community- St. James Bay Golf Course: New consolidated county school campus-- Franklin County Consolidated School--New Urgent Care Center part of Weems Memorial Hospital. No limit on things to do and places to stay: Fish (alone or in a tournament--plenty of water access points) over f ive marinas and 4 public boat ramps--Kayak, go birding, fishing, boating, enjoy fresh local seafood at our restaurants, hiking, attend a local festival, walk the beach or forest, attend a university-sponsored nature seminar,. Stay over in a beach house, Key-West style inn, riverfront mansion, motel or marina. "Life's simple pleasures are the best"--turn off the cell phones and Blackberrys--come here to reconnect with spouse or children. Build a sand castle, take a walk or paddle, visit Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum, cast a net, see the Crooked River Lighthouse Park, stop by the Carrabelle History Museum, drop a line, watch the sunset. Or visit us at the 21st Annual Riverfront Festival on April 23 & 24 and enjoy Maritime activities along Carrabelle's beautifull Marine Street.
