Scipio Creek Boardwalk

Known For

Working waterfront views from weathered wooden planks at dusk

Scipio Creek Boardwalk stretches out over the water with a moody atmosphere that hits differently at dusk, when working boats return and pelicans line the pilings. It has a charming storefront-lined approach that makes the walk there as good as the destination.

🕐Best time to visit: Just before sunset when the fleet comes in

Apalachicola, FL 32320, USA

Our Take

Scipio Creek Boardwalk gives you an unobstructed view of working shrimp boats tied up at the docks with the Apalachicola River delta stretching out behind them — it's the kind of unglamorous, authentic waterfront scene that's increasingly hard to find in Florida. With only 48 ratings, it's still flying under the radar, making it genuinely rewarding to seek out.
