San Marcos de Apalache

Perhaps the best stop in this area was San Marcos de Apalache.  While little still exists here, at the intersection of the Wakulla and St. Marks Rivers, this seems to be a major place of importance in US history.  Over a 400 year period; Desoto, Andrew Jackson, pirates, the Apalache & Seminole Indians, the British, the Confederates, and the Yankees all lost men due to hostilities and disease at this confluence at the Gulf. Today the area is still 80% natural with the exception of a laid back fishing village.
