This is our 3rd visit to Carrabelle, FL, located on what the locals call the "forgotten coast" of Florida. If you go south from Tallahassee, and a little bit west, you'll see Carrabelle on the Gulf of Mexico. We first discovered this little park back in 2003, when we were in between the Gainesville, FL and the Houston, TX drag races. We stopped here again, about 2 years ago, after leaving Alaska in the fall. It's not a fancy park, but as you can see in the photo, it's one of a very few places where you can park right next to the water. We'll be here one more night, before heading west. About mid day, we drove into Carrabelle, a small town where I took a picture of the world's smallest police department. It might get just a little crowded in there during a start of shift briefing. We then drove out to St. George Island, about 20 miles from Carrabelle, where there were lots and lots of beautiful beach homes. It reminded me of Ocean Shores, WA, a community of mostly vacation homes, and a few business, catering to mostly tourists and vacationers. The rest of the day was spent with a walk on the beach, and watching the fish jump in front of the motor home. We even watched a small shark cruising within a few feet of the shore!
