Alligator Pint is a charming large older beach house right on a beautiful private Gulf beach. It is in one of the least developed, least visited, least touristy places left on the Florida Coast. The house has a very unique setting, it is located on a very narrow peninsula and the lot it sits on extends from the Gulf of Mexico to the Alligator Harbor (a bay). The lot is over an acre and 150 feet wide, this gives you 2 private beaches! We have recently restored the house as nearly as we could to its original condition. Wood floors, walls and ceilings no sheet rock or carpeting in this house, just nice old pine and cypress.

Beach Front! A great place to swim, walk the beach, fish and relax. We don’t have many of the “attractions” of Florida’s more developed places. No tee shirt shops, beach bars, tattoo parlors, or any thing of the like. There is not a traffic light in the county and the nearest McDonalds is 35 miles away (we do have some good local places with great seafood a lot closer). There are however a lot of great places to visit like Bald Point, Ochlocknee River, and Wakulla Springs State Parks; St Marks and St Vincent’s National Wildlife Refuges; Tate’s Hell Swamp and the Apalachicola National Forest. We have some great rivers and springs to explore and lots of natural things to do and see.

Take a look at our website (www.alligatorpoint.org) for a lot more info about the house and the area.


Walk the beach, swim, and fish, lie on the beach, sit on the screened porch or deck and look at the beach. This is a great private little developed, non touristy beach. The beach is the real reason for coming. Other things to do include:

Fishing, fish from the beach, charter a boat, bring a boat, the fishing is pretty good. We regularly catch redfish, speckled trout, and Spanish mackerel from the shore. From a boat you can also catch grouper, snapper, king mackerel, cobia, and lots more.

Canoeing or Kayaking, We have some really great places nearby like the Wakulla River. The Wakulla is fed by Wakulla Springs one of the largest springs in the world. The crystal clear water runs about 10 miles to the Gulf, there is not much development along the river and you can see lots of wildlife. Manatee if you are lucky, lots of gators, and lots and lots of birds. Other places to go include the Ochlocknee River, Wacissa River, and Tate's Hell.

Wildlife and bird watching. This is a great place to see wildlife; we are surrounded by Wildlife Refuges, State Parks, a National Forest, and a State Forest. We have everything from Bears and Manatee to Gopher Tortoise and Red Wolves.

Eat some local seafood, catch it and cook it yourselves, buy it in one of the local shops that sell seafood right off the boats (we have as many of these as we do gas stations), or eat in one of the local restaurants that cook it. No better place for seafood!

Relax, this is a wonderful place to just sit on the beach/deck/porch and relax!
