Franklin County at a glance
Oysters, shrimp boats and a bridge to the island
Franklin County is the heart of Florida's Forgotten Coast. Apalachicola, the county seat, is a 19th-century port of brick warehouses, Victorian homes and seafood houses at the mouth of the Apalachicola River. Across the bay, Eastpoint is the working waterfront, and a four-mile bridge leads from there to St. George Island, a vacation-rental community with one of the most highly rated beaches in the country. Carrabelle anchors the eastern end.
US 98 is the only highway, hugging the coast the whole way. The economy depends on tourism, with visitors arriving for week-long rentals, fishing and festivals. A mobile billboard works here as a short, well-timed activation around a festival or peak rental weeks.

Good to know
Franklin County mobile billboard FAQ
Do you serve Apalachicola and St. George Island?
Yes, as well as Eastpoint and Carrabelle. US 98 links them all.
What does a billboard truck cost this far from Miami?
The day rate starts around $1,300, the same anchor we use statewide. What changes for Franklin County is mobilization, which we quote separately and spread across however many days you book.
Is this practical given the distance?
It is a long mobilization from South Florida, so we recommend multi-day festival bookings or combining with Gulf, Bay or Wakulla County.
Are there local restrictions?
Historic Apalachicola has narrow streets and St. George Island is largely residential. We confirm rules and plan routes on appropriate public roads.
What is the best weekend?
The Florida Seafood Festival in November, followed by the chili cookoff in March and peak summer Saturdays.
How much notice do you need for Franklin County?
The more the better, especially around busy event dates. Timing comes down to truck availability and finished creative; for Franklin County, build in extra lead time because the truck has to travel across the state first.
