About Forgotten Coast

This is the part of the Gulf of Mexico's coast just south of Tallahassee, on the eastern end of the Florida Panhandle. Consequently it's a mixture of Florida's typical coastline "style" of long, skinny beach islands across a waterway from the coast, and coastal swamp. The former has far more tourist appeal, and as a result the tourist's focus is in the western part of this region with towns such asPort St. JoeandSt George. For a coastal region, the population in this region is small, with only a few thousand spread in a few towns, quite unlike the not-so-distantTallahassee, the state capital a few miles to the north of Crawfordville. The vast majority of the land area is rural, despite the tourist appeal, with even the intracoastal and beach areas sparsely populated by Floridian standards.
