Review:
If you are looking for the old scenic, relaxed Florida, Wakulla County, part of the Tallahassee area, is the right place to visit. Located on the Gulf of Mexico, the county consists of several charming small towns where the visitors can enjoy swimming in the warm Gulf waters as well as boating, fishing, hiking, and bird watching.
The most visited is the town of St. Marks, with only 300 permanent residents. It also has San Marcos de Apalache Historic Park, one of the oldest lighthouses in Florida, lush salt marshes protected within the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, and Wakulla Springs, which, at 185 feet, are one of the world’s deepest freshwater springs.
