The John Gorrie
Museum in Apalachicola is a great place to learn about the life
and work of Dr. Gorrie, inventor of the ice machine.
There is a
working replica of his original machine and displays that will
show you how folks around here lived more than a hundred years
ago.

Apalachicola
Bay is one of the most productive estuarine systems in the Northern
Hemisphere. Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve
features 1,162 subspecies of vascular (or "higher-level")
plants, 308 species of birds, 186 species of fish and 57 species of
mammals.
It
has the largest natural stand of tupelo trees in the world. The
Apalachicola Basin has the highest species density of amphibians and
reptiles in all of North America, north of Mexico. The reserve
protects this high biological diversity, as well as the economic
value of the natural resources and pristine conditions.

The
Dr. Julian Bruce State Park is located on the eastern end of St.
George Island. It is about eight miles from the gate to the East
Pass at the end of the island.
With
camping and bathing pavilions, the park is a favorite with folks who
make day trips to the island. The largest part of the park, however,
is pristine barrier island beach that has remained unchanged by the
hand of man.
