Carrabelle

Carrabelle, Apalachicola, & St. Marks NWR Florida

December 20, 2021 by Michael Huntley

Carrabelle is a small coastal city located in the eastern Florida Panhandle about 70 miles south of Georgia. This is our third stay. Its appeal can probably be summarized by the expression for the area, “the forgotten coast”. It’s relatively undeveloped, has a low population, and minimal commercialization. But it has just enough of the sugar white sand beaches, sights, amenities and restaurants for our needs. The beaches are not only dog friendly, but it’s rare for us to even see another person on one. We were here for a couple of weeks in mid December, so the weather was cold, overcast, and wet.

Ho Hum RV Park & Carrabelle, Florida: Gulf Sunsets, the World’s Smallest Police Station & the Legend of Tate’s Hell

February 8, 2017 by Michael Huntley

Last Updated: May 2026

From Grayton Beach — bruised, wrist-sprained, rib-fractured, and ready for a site that didn’t require chainsaw work to access — we drove east along the Panhandle to Carrabelle and checked into Ho Hum RV Park. The name undersells it considerably. Our site sat directly on the water with a 180-degree view across the Gulf of Mexico, and the park’s 250-foot pier stretched out into the bay. Jake immediately applied himself to the comprehensive olfactory survey of the shoreline that any self-respecting dog would consider mandatory.
