5 WAYS
COUNTY
is Sustainably Yours
BY LINDSAY DAVIES
Just one hour south of Tallahassee in the Big Bend of Florida lies a forgotten coastal wonderland. Franklin County fea- tures five distinct communities, each adding a unique splash of colour to the shoreline. From crystal clear waters and outstanding fishing opportunities to charming small towns and unusual landmarks, you will find it hard to leave the simpler life Franklin County has to offer.
ENDLESS SUMMER
Feast your eyes on pristine white sand beaches as you soak up the perpetual year-round summer sun Florida is renowned for. With over 400 kilometres of turf stretching across Franklin County, the possibilities to explore sunny adventures are endless. Walk along the gentle surf of St. George Island as your foot- prints disappear into the tide. Early birds will be treated to the breathtaking colours as Mother Nature’s brushstrokes craft a stunning sky at sunrise.
A FISHERMAN’S PARADISE
If you are an avid angler, Franklin County is a bucket list destination for inshore and off- shore fishing. Cast a line as your lure ripples the water and see what bites. With access to
FRANKLIN
redfish, grouper, snapper, trout and cobia, you will be treated to some of the best salt and freshwater fishing grounds in the state. If fishing is not for you, visit the seafood markets of Eastpoint. Family-run four generations deep, these weather-worn docks are guaran- teed to have the freshest seafood around.
