Carrabelle is a step back in time. It will remind you of old Florida as you stroll along in the old town.

Carrabelle, meaning “beautiful river” is a boater’s paradise, a fisherman’s dream; enjoy the miles of the New and Crooked River, plan a day to relax across the bay on Dog Island where you’ll find uncrowded white sand beaches, pack a cooler, have a picnic, or put a bend in every fishing rod.
You should have no problem launching from one of the few boat ramps, Pirates Landing (
Our home has a circular drive and is excellent for those trailering a boat or camper. Parking is easy, there is plenty of room for vehicles, and there is also a covered area under the house.
