For wonderful days of boating on sparkling bay and Gulf waters, all manner of watercraft are available for rent, or bring your own. There are a number of full service marinas and public launch ramps available throughout the surrounding area.

Pubs and nightclubs offer live musical entertainment, along with billiards, darts and big-screen televised sports gatherings. Repertory theatre, boutiques, art galleries and antique shops... an annual tour of historic homes, antique car shows, fishing tournaments and arts, music and food festivals, all contribute to the diversity of "things to do". Add state parks, lighthouses, live marine exhibits, and historic museums. Enjoy guided adventure excursions to nearby uninhabited islands, national wildlife preserves, and the Apalachicola River.
