Rural Relaxation: Affordable Accommodations in Awesome Alligator Point
By Forgotten Coast Web Team | August 16, 2019
If you want to escape to a serene, beautiful beach destination this fall, Alligator Point is the perfectly peaceful retreat. Nestled on the easternmost corner of Florida’s Forgotten Coast, this sparsely populated, rural beach community encompasses eight miles of untouched coastline along a narrow beach peninsula.
This calm coastal paradise, called simply “The Point” by locals, is like a vintage snapshot of old Florida. Filled with sea oat-covered sand dunes, marsh habitats, fresh water rivers and dense pine forests, The Point is truly nature-lover’s paradise.
One of the best spots for wildlife viewing in the area is Bald Point State Park, located where Ochlockonee Bay meets Apalachee Bay. Spanning more than 4,000 upland acres, the park is home to a bounty of lush plant life and wildlife residents, including black bear, white-tailed deer, coyotes, bobcats and regional birds.
Alligator Point is also the ideal getaway for beachgoers seeking solitude. There are no high-rises, glaring lights or noisy crowds on these pristine beaches, which allows for the ultimate relaxation, exquisite stargazing and undisturbed peace and quiet.
While Alligator Point is a tranquil area, there are still plenty of things to see and do here. From biking, hiking and boating to birding, paddling and fishing, the area offers countless activities for fall visitors.
