It is getting busier but still fairly quiet. With the National Seashore there, one can still get away.

Weekend traffic to/from Island can be a PITA. If you stay on the island, it can be mostly avoided.

September should be reasonable as schools are back in.

So I've been seeing a lot of St.George/Cape San Blas mentions. Same area that surround Apalachicola Bay.

Next stop down going east is Carrabelle Beach. I just found this little history nugget that Carrabelle Beach was used as a Fort in the 1940s

quote:

Camp Gordon Johnston and D-Day Training
Camp Gordon Johnston, located near Carrabelle, Florida, was a major U.S. Army amphibious training base from 1942 to 1946, and it played a direct role in preparing troops for the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944


Pretty wild. The whole area is really cool and off the beaten path of PCB, Destin etc...

You can stay at Cape San Blas and visit Mexico Beach, Cape San Blas, St. George Island, Apalachicola, Port St. Joe and Carrabelle Beach with ease.
