Cape San Blas, Port St. Joe, Apalachicola 2014

  • Sunset and birds along the beach at Cape San Blas. Notice, there are no high-rise condos. CSB is part of the "forgotten coast," which runs roughly form Port St. Joe through Apalachicola.
  • Marsh on the bay side of CSB. If it wasn't raining, you could probably see Port St. Joe in the distance.
  • Sea oats against a threatening sky along the dunes of CSB.
  • Sea oats at sunset.
  • This was as "wild" as the surf got while were on CSB. Not sure what the wooden structure is/was.
  • Shrimp boats tied up at the dock at Apalachicola. A fence prevented me from getting closer.
  • Warehouse converted to an art gallery in Apalachicola.
  • It doesn't look like Joe is selling sea food any longer. Thankfully.
  • This is the Hole in the Wall raw bar in Apalchicola. This guy is bringing in several very heavy bags of oysters through the front door.
  • Men's room at the Hole in the Wall Raw Bar. The sign says, "Please pee on the ice." I don't get it - and I didn't.
  • Hot sauces on the table. My kind of place. Apalachicola.
  • Shrimp boats in the harbor at Apalachicola. These were three of the better looking ones. A couple of others have sunken at the dock. For what ever reason, there was not much activity the day we were there.
  • Green nets hanging to dry.
  • Lines (not rope) hanging on a shrimp boat.
  • I'm not sure what these are called, but they are used to tie up the shrimp boats.
  • A colorful float. I like the lighting on this one.
  • Shrimp boats are definitely not pleasure craft.
  • More nets hanging to dry.
  • Crab legs coming out of the steamer at the Indian Pass Raw bar. Local seafood any way you want it except fried.
  • Cold beer and oysters pretty much sums up the menu. But they do offer shrimp and crab legs. Oh yes, and great gumbo. And the drinks (beer) are on the honor system. The IPRB is one of my favorite restaurants any where in the world. Delightfully rauncy, but if you show up with your shirt tucked in and close toed shoes, you are over dressed.
  • The CSB lighthouse. It was moved in one piece from CSB to Port St. Joe, a distance of about 12 miles. Why the large umbrella? That was to protect the money-taker from the rain that day.
  • Inside the CSB light.
  • Sea gulls with nothing to do in Port St. Joe.
