I absolutely love it! It has small town charm and the locals are friendly. The county has several fun local festivals for different events. The Worm Gruntin Festival is in quaint little Sopchoppy where "back in the day" folks used to grunt worms for a living and sell to the fishermen.
The Blue Crab festival in Panacea at Wooley Park has plenty of blue crab to eat and music entertainment.
The stone crab festival in the fall held in St Marks an "Old Florida" little fishing village. Stone crab claws are the best with melted butter (yum).

Wakulla County also has three large rivers that flow into the Gulf of Mexico.
The Wakulla River starts at Wakulla Springs (largest fresh spring water in the nation) and is gorgeous crystal clear water with manatees! Kayaking is a must on this river.
The St Marks River has sparkling clear water and the fisherman love it, Scallop season is in the spring and very popular in this area.
The Ocholocknee River divides Wakulla County & Franklin County right down the middle of the river. Motor boats love this river.

Shell Point Beach has beautiful white sand and a brand new built boat ramp with ample parking for trailers. Shell Point has deep water canals that accommodates sail boats and large yachts. Dogs are welcome on this beach!

Mashes Sands Island Beach is the local's best kept secret. No commercialization on this beach, just a natural setting beach that allows dogs!

If you like "Laid Back" living, enjoy watching wildlife, miles of walking or biking trails, eating fresh seafood, hunting and fishing, boating, kayaking or walking on the beach, Wakulla County is the place for you!
