Florida’s Forgotten Coast is a registered trademark coined in the early 1990s by the Apalachicola Bay Chamber of Commerce. The name is most commonly used to refer to a relatively quiet, undeveloped and largely uninhabited section of coastline stretching from
Mexico Beach on the
Gulf of Mexico to
St. Marks on
Apalachee Bay in the
U.S. state of
Florida . The nearest major cities are
Tallahassee , about 90 miles (145 km) northeast of Apalachicola, and
Panama City , home of
Tyndall Air Force Base , about 60 miles (95 km) to the northwest.
In addition to the endpoints, it encompasses the coastal communities of (west to east): Port St. Joe , Cape San Blas , Apalachicola , Eastpoint , Carrabelle , Lanark Village , Alligator Point , Panacea and Shell Point . These communities are located in the following counties, which by extension may be included in references to the Forgotten Coast by some writers: Gulf County , Franklin County and Wakulla County .
