On the way to the beach this morning I could see it might be a good sunrise …
… and yes, it was awesome!!!
[Carrabelle Day #10 2025-03-07 (Fri)] Today we decided to head west along the coastal highway, stopping first at the Apalachicola Coffee & Chocolate shop in Apalachicola. A nice place where we could sit outside at a table on the sidewalk with Tucker for our coffee and pastry. Apalachicola has a several blocks of a “tourist area” of which we walked around, and while of course Lyn liked this even I did on such a nice afternoon. I didn’t take any photos while we were there, so I grabbed a Google Street View of the coffee shop to share here.

Next we drove to Port St. Joe where we walked around Maddox Park (a.k.a. Lighthouse Park) and a set of seaside trails. We started from a parking area near the Cape San Blas Lighthouse. Facing east, with the sun behind us in the west, the lighthouse was nicely lit up and there was a small pond where we could also get a reflection, which made for a really nice photo.

Lastly we drove the “St. Joe Peninsula” up to the State Park at the end of it. Basically just 100’s of beach houses, much like St. George Island. I’m kind of jealous of the folks who have these places.
