You must have your own car to get there. A toll causeway from Apalachicola links the mainland with the island. You will pass over Apalachicola Bay.

Luggage and bags: Take what ever you feel like lugging in to where you are staying.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: It depends on the season but if you go in the wintertime remember it won't be hot just because it is Florida. You will need a wrap probably even in the daytime because of the breeze coming off the ocean.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Take what you must have. There are a few little shops but they may not have what you need.
Miscellaneous: Most days are sunny but we have been there when it was very misty and foggy. Take along a good book for days like that.

You will need a Florida saltwater fishing license to fish here.
The fish you are most likely to catch are flounder, sea trout, whiting, or pompano.
