Your back door includes thousands of acres of state parks, remote Aquatic Preserves and Wildlife Refuges visited by hikers, kayakers and canoeists. Activities revolving around the natural environment include saltwater flat and offshore fishing, boating, scalloping, biking and bird watching. Appropriately named "Florida's Forgotten Coast" the area is valued for its well-preserved, unspoiled environment and boasts some of the State's most beautiful natural and cultural resources.
A city in a small town way, Apalachicola's rich history and maritime culture compliment the area's abundant resources. Minutes away, you can browse through unique galleries, stores and antique shops or tour the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve. Don't miss the over 200 historically significant homes and commercial structures. Take a River Tour or a sail on the restored Gulf Coast schooner, the "Governor Stone."
	BluewaterBay is designed with respect for the local environment, by maintaining the unique character of this distinctive Southern Landscape. Extraordinary care has been taken to preserve indigenous plants and trees. Each home is inspired by the calm of the Gulf of Mexico to form their Classic BluewaterBay Architectural style. We think you'll agree, BluewaterBay is your place for living. As a resident of Lanark, you will be able to enjoy a private boat ramp membership and an 18 hole public championship course a mile away.
If you are a beach lover who doesn't care for crowds, St. George Island is your perfect getaway. This 28 mile barrier island, minutes from BluewaterBay, presents wide stretches of white sandy beaches and dunes. St. George and Cape San Blas, just down the road, regularly top Dr. Beach's annual list of America's best! Photography by Richard Bickel
