Carrabelle is a peaceful fishing village perched on the Gulf of Mexico panhandle about an hours drive south of Tallahassee. It is in the Florida panhandle off of US 98 near Apalachicola, where all the fat, juicy oysters come from. But most people have never heard of Carrabelle, and if they have heard of it, they have forgotten it. Hence, its unfortunate moniker: Floridas Forgotten Coast. Carrabelle is laid-back and quiet, rural Florida. Its rich history is not so serene, though. Its beaches were once a training ground for troops heading to Normandy for the D-Day invasion, and yellow fever ravaged its people at the turn of the 20th Century Fish famines are rare in this fishermens paradise. In the bays, inlets and flats around Carrabelle, fish practically jump into the boat, they say.
