Fishing boats at the Apalachicola pier
Oyster/fishing boats at Apalachicola, Florida. Apalachicola is a small city along what is sometimes referred to as the Forgotten Coast on the Gulf coast of the Florida panhandle. Oyster and shrimp fishing continue to be important elements of the economy, and the town has a slower pace than the big resort areas elsewhere in the state.

This is shot from just East of the Port St. Joe Marina. Cool town with lots of potential for photography. Needed more time to explore.
