Apalachicola
"Apalachicola" comes from the Apalachicola tribe and is a combination of Hitchiti Indian words "apalahchi," meaning "on the other side," and "okli," meaning "people". In original reference to the settlement, it probably meant "people on the other side of the river." Many inhabitants of Apalachicola, however, choose to translate the name of their town as "land of the friendly people."
Miles of pristine beaches, endless shallow bays and marshes, fresh water rivers provide great opportunities for fishing, boating, kayaking, birding or hiking. Take a guided tour up the Apalachicola River, see the historic waterfront and learn about the role the river has played in our history and economy. Head up the river to view wild, isolated marshes or take a trip across Apalachicola Bay to one of the barrier islands - St Vincent National Wildlife Refuge, Cape St George, or Dog Island. Land based adventures included trips to the expansive Apalachicola National Forest or Tate's Hell State Forest for birding, hiking and fishing. Historic Apalachicola has several museums and over 900 structures in its National Historic District.
