A Traveler's Guide to Apalachicola

Apalachicola is a city that is located in the northwestern panhandle region of the US state of Florida. Florida is the most extreme southeastern state in the continental United States. It is bordered to the north by Alabama and Georgia, to the west by the Gulf of Mexico, to the south by the Caribbean Sea, and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean. It is the seat of government in Franklin County. English is the official language of Apalachicola.

The city gets its name from an indigenous tribal word that means "the other side people", which most people believe referred to the fact that the people lived on the other side of the river. Today most people prefer to translate it as the "land of friendly people".

Apalachicola has a humid subtropical climate, which means hot summers and mild winters. Summer temperatures can reach into the 90's Fahrenheit from time to time but winter temperatures rarely dip below 40. Rainfall occurs year round, but it occurs most heavily during the summer months of June through August. Thunderstorms can be severe from time to time. The city is vulnerable to occasional hurricanes because of its location on the Gulf of Mexico.

The city has become popular recently with tourists for a different reason than you would expect. Most coastal cities in Florida attract visitors because of their beaches and vacation resorts. Apalachicola does have access to some beautiful beaches, but most people come to it for a different reason. There are several historical locations in the city that make it a place to visit "Old Florida". Many turn of the century buildings are still in tact and can be viewed by the public. The city is also home to several Spanish-influenced structures and plazas.
