Carrabelle


Carrabelle is surrounded by the Carrabelle River, Crooked River, Ochlockonee River and the Gulf of Mexico. It feels like it's on the edge of the world, and for us it is, being our last stop before we jump into the Gulf of Mexico to the Florida west coast.The city has a total area of 4.8 square miles, 3.7 square miles of it is land, and 1.1 square mile of it is water. The population is 1,303. Small Town.


The Moorings Marina is eerily quiet as the fog settles in for the afternoon and a cold front moves towards shore.


We did visit the lone antique store where Mary and her feline friend reside.
 
 
Ah! Another Cat Lady. We Had a lot to talk about.
 
 
 
 
Walking into the local diner was a real treat with 50's, 40's & 30's memorabilia.
 
 
They had so many great old signs that were the real deal, I had to ask the owner if he had heard of American Pickers.
 
 
The best part was they carried my favorite Costa Rican coffee beans and grind them right there. What a place!
 
 
The town people are very a very friendly bunch. We checked out the grocery store, the hardware store, the gift shop and our friend Kurt got a haircut. What else do you need!
 
 
Back to the simple life. No Reservations!
