Carrabelle is a step back in time. It will remind you of old Florida as you stroll along in the old town.

Carrabelle, meaning “beautiful river” is a boater’s paradise, a fisherman’s dream; enjoy the miles of the New and Crooked River, plan a day to relax across the bay on Dog Island where you’ll find uncrowded white sand beaches, pack a cooler, have a picnic, or put a bend in every fishing rod.
You should have no problem launching from one of the few boat ramps, Pirates Landing (
Our home has a circular drive and is excellent for those trailering a boat or camper. Parking is easy, there is plenty of room for vehicles, and there is also a covered area under the house.

Come and discover the forgotten coast. It's a salty attraction, the panhandles gateway to the gulf.

Bring your boats, or schedule a charter, rent a pontoon, go to private Dog Island, take your bikes to the state parks, kayak to Carrabelle beach or take your paddle board out. (The Beach is a 3-minute drive away too.)

Vacationing at Hooked on Bayou is also a nature lover’s dream: look for the eagles, (binoculars are available for your exploration) owls, ospreys, waterfowl, our neighborly red fox and Cecil the gopher turtle.
