Tour the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve. The Reserves Estuarine Walk is now home to lot of Franklin County critters like horseshoe crabs, snakes, turtles, largemouth bass, salamanders, flounder and the list goes on. Take home local art. Many artists call Franklin County home. Their crafts can be seen in many local shops.
Artists range from old painters and sketchers to metal smiths and everything in between and beyond.
Dine on ocean-fresh seafood. Our local restaurants pride themselves on their ability to serve fresh fish direct from our surrounding waters. Many restaurants offer daily specials to reflect what the boat brought in that day. Pitch a towel on the beach and read a book. If you didn't bring one along, consider browsing the shelves of the island's own late-night library, housed in one of the local watering holes.
