We checked out another potential RV site to rent. The site is paved which is good but is in between two houses, very close to the road, and the dunes block the view of the beach.
But there is a set of steps that takes you down to the beach and the beach is beautiful.
As we rode out to the point, we noticed a few new houses being constructed which is good. When we were here two years ago, nothing was being built.
On the way back we stopped at the RV site we had stayed at in the spring of 2012 but someone was camped there and the driveway was chained off so we couldn't get a good look at it. We also rode out to Indian Pass but not much had changed out there.
We stopped at Indian Pass Rawbar for lunch. We were looking forward to some delicious steamed oysters like what we had enjoyed two years ago. We ordered a dozen steamed and a dozen baked. Unfortunately, the oysters are much, much smaller than they were two years ago.
They are so small you can't even hardly see them in the picture! Yes, that is a very small oyster in the shell.
Two years ago, the oysters were so big they would cover and spill out over the edge of your cracker like this:
Needless to say, we were a little disappointed. We even thought about stopping by Boss Oyster in Apalachicola on the way back and getting a dozen oysters there just to see if they were any bigger. Instead, we treated ourselves to a scoop of ice cream at Carrabelle Junction.
After we got back to the motorhome, we decided to go out to the beach for a little while. The clouds were very dark to the west...
but the sun was shining over us and to the east.
When I checked my phone, it appeared the storms were stalling out over Cape San Blas. Glad we weren't there now!
We set up our beach chairs and watched the shrimp boats who were trolling back and forth in front of us.
They were bringing in several big nets full of shrimp. Maybe we should have eaten shrimp rather than oysters! :)
We stayed at the beach until the sun started to go behind the clouds...
and then walked back to the camper and enjoyed sitting outside a little while longer.
Although we like some of the individual RV rental sites out toward Cape San Blas, what we like about Carrabelle RV Beach Resort is that there is quick access to the beach, the sites are paved (so you're not having to sweep or vacuum out sand all the time), and there is a pool that is probably very nice in the spring and fall when it is not so hot. Plus, the price is very reasonable for a campground this close to a beach.
