Zanzibar 



    Welcome to Zanzibar. Nestled in amongst the dunes of St George island.  This island is near the old Florida town of Appalachicola on the panhandle of Florida along Hwy 98.  The Appalachicola river flows into the Gulf of Mexico here. St George Island creates a barrier and the brackish Appalachicola Bay, renowned for it's oysters.

 
This is the forgotten coast of Florida. Sun seekers have missed this quiet coast line, thus the beaches are white and filled with shells. Life tends to be a little laid back. So if you like quiet, no crowds and not much to do, here's the place for it.

 We named our house on St George Island "Zanzibar". There is a connection to this spice island in the Indian Ocean. I was born there and we honeymooned there. This clove island has a rich history and that history was anything but quiet.
