About This Seaport
Oysters, shrimp and Gulf finfish are the cargo that defines Apalachicola today, a shallow river port at the mouth of the Apalachicola River on Florida's Forgotten Coast. Franklin County has long harvested more than 90% of Florida's oysters, though the bay's wild beds were closed in 2020 and have reopened only on a limited, restoration-focused basis. With a controlling channel depth of roughly 1.8 m, the port cannot accommodate deep-draught merchant vessels and offers no container, general-cargo or routine international customs handling. Its quays serve the seafood fleet, supply craft and recreational traffic rather than commercial liner shipping. Forwarders with ocean freight should use Port Panama City (US PFN), the nearest deep-water commercial port, or the larger gateways at Mobile and Jacksonville.
