Dock wisdom

Scalloping season is June–September — plan the whole trip around it, it's the island's defining experience.

Fishing in Apalachicola Bay is world-class: one of the most productive estuaries in North America.

Charter boats operate from Apalachicola Marina, a 20-minute drive across the bridge.

The bay side of the island is as interesting as the Gulf — seagrass flats, dolphins and pristine water.
