Historic Gulf Coast oystering town in the Panhandle
Apalachicola is a small Panhandle town at the mouth of its namesake river. Its harbor long supplied a large share of Florida's oysters, and Apalachicola Regional Airport serves the area.
In the 1800s the town was a major cotton-shipping port on the Gulf. It later became renowned for its bay oysters, though the fishery has declined in recent decades.
