Apalachicola or “Apalach“, as it is known by locals, is far from a typical tourist town. This unique city is noted for having some of the finest oysters, its bay oysters having a pure, mild, briny flavor that has been recognized by top chefs throughout the country. A diverse selection of acclaimed restaurants feature fresh, local, daily harvested seafood. Apalachicola’s vibrant history and rich maritime culture can still be seen on its working waterfront. Buildings that once served as 19th century ship’s chandleries, old net factories and a sponge warehouse now house a mix of eclectic and trendy shops, restaurants, galleries and meticulously restored hotels and B & B’s. A grand theater lies in the center of town. Restored in 1997, the Dixie Theatre hosts professional theater and music January through March.
