Travel to Apalachicola: The beauty of Florida's 'forgotten coast'

For oyster lovers, Apalachicola is Florida's pearl. There are many reasons to visit Franklin County, that conglomerate of tiny panhandle communities often called the "forgotten coast" because of its non touristy, Old Florida vibe - the uncrowded, pet-friendly beaches on St. George Island, the St. James Bay Golf Resort in Carrabelle, charter fishing in Alligator Point and bird-watching in Eastpoint. For many people, though, there's nothing as satisfying as Apalachicola's world-famous oysters.
