Between the Palms - Carrabelle Chronicles
Welcome to our corner of Florida’s Forgotten Coast — a place where stories linger in the walls, and southern hospitality meets coastal calm. Here, we share the journey of The Old Carrabelle Hotel: from its 1890s roots to its modern rebirth. You’ll find updates on our restoration, local happenings, travel tips, and a peek behind the scenes of what it means to be a family-run inn on one of Florida’s last truly undiscovered shores.
For travelers planning an Apalachicola day trip from Carrabelle , this is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to experience the Forgotten Coast: a little history, a little shopping, a great meal, maybe a waterfront drink — and then a calm evening back in Carrabelle, where the beaches are quieter, the pace is slower, and the nights feel just a little more relaxed.

We were honored to see The Old Carrabelle Hotel included in Travel + Leisure’s recent guide to Carrabelle, Florida.
