Alligator Harbour Beach.

"Alligator Harbor is a shallow estuary enclosed by the Alligator Point sand spit. Alligator Harbor is unique because it’s one of the few harbors in Florida that’s not fed directly by a river, which means the salt content of the water is almost the same as the Gulf of Mexico. The salinity levels allow for the successful clam harvesting industry within the harbor.

"Alligator Point is a sparsely populated coastal jewel located at the easternmost end of Franklin County. This narrow beach peninsula boasts eight miles of quiet shoreline and unparalled fishing. The “Point,” as it is referred to by locals, is nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and Alligator Harbor, a pristine estuary known for its clam harvesting. This cozy coastal community is a snapshot of vintage coastal Florida. Alligator Point features a range of vacation rental options on the gulf and bay. The area features a full service marina with fishing charters. There are several public access areas along the beach and two boat ramps on the bay side."
