Carrabelle

Carrabelle was settled by "First Americans" thousands of years ago and archeological finds have shown that the area was a plentiful supplier of seafoods. It continues to be a sportsman's paradise, offering fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, birding and kayaking opportunities.
Carrabelle also has a long history as being a tourist attraction. In the early 1900s the city became a destination resort for travelers in the Southeast. A railroad was built, the Carrabelle, Florida and Georgia, to bring tourists to Carrabelle to enjoy the crystal white "sugar" beaches.

By plane

Carrabelle Airport is available for general aircraft use in the town. Tallahassee Airport is a short one hour drive for commercial air travel.

By boat

The harbor has several marinas for visitors traversing the ICW.

By car

US Highway 98/319 goes right through the city.

Carrabelle has the congenial atmosphere of a forgotten coast fishing village. It is easily explored by walking, including the Carrabelle River Walk. An especially convenient asset for mariners is the availability of hardware and grocers just across the street for those routine and unexpected needs of the boater.
