    About this ebook

    Welcome to the “Redneck Riviera”!

    Or, as many people call it, the “Forgotten Coast.”

    Once you visit this quiet area of the Florida Panhandle, however, you’ll never forget it, I promise you. This part of Florida has nothing in common with South Beach and Miami, and the people here prefer it that way.

    Here’s you’ll fine a complete guide (updated a couple of times a year) for everything you need to experience a great Long Weekend in Apalachicola.

    You’ll love the area’s wide beaches, the low-key lifestyle and the endless supply of great seafood.

    “We’ve always preferred the Florida Panhandle to other parts of the West Coast—it’s less crowded, the people are more down-to-earth and the prices are cheaper. We found a couple of nice restaurants in this Guide we hadn’t known about before.”

    --- Louise S., Boston
     

    “Was really happy with the restaurant selection—and the shortness of the book. I got everything I needed to know in no time at all. We checked out 2 of the inns and chose the second one we visited. No filler and fluff in this handy guide.”

    --- Charleen H., Chattanooga


    You'll save a lot of time using this concise guide.

    =Lodgings, variously priced

    =Fine & budget restaurants, more than enough listings to give you a sense of the variety to be found. 

    =Principal attractions -- don't waste your precious time on the lesser ones. We've done all the work for you.

    =A handful of interesting shopping ideas.

      WHY APALACHICOLA?

      Apalachicola is not a part of the Redneck Riviera exactly (that honor is reserved to the touristy area around Panama City and Panama City Beach, two distinct cities, as they will be the first to remind you.

      But Apalachicola is a part of what has been called the Emerald Coast, which runs roughly 100 miles along Highway 98 from Panama City to Pensacola.

      It is a small town, only about 3,000 citizens, but it’s quite historic, and at one time this port was the third biggest in the area after Mobile and New Orleans, but this was before railroads were built in the Florida Panhandle, reducing the importance of the port.

      Now, Apalachicola is home port mainly to oystermen and shrimpers. Although Apalachicola Bay is currently suffering from a lack of freshwater
