Starting at Bald Point State Park, this drive heads west along US 98 through the landscapes of Florida’s Forgotten Coast. Coastal marshes and open water accompany the road toward St. George Island, where the route passes through the island’s quiet coastal landscape before returning to the mainland. From there, the journey continues into Tate’s Hell and the forests beyond.
As the road follows the outside of Apalachicola National Forest, the scenery becomes increasingly wooded and remote. Pine forests, wetlands, and long stretches of quiet highway replace the open Gulf views, but the sense of solitude remains. It is a slow transition from coast to forest, capturing a less-developed side of Florida that is easy to miss.
Captured in April 2024 on the outer edges of the Apalachicola National Forest.
