WAKULLA COUNTY, FL
A great Place to Work, Play... to Live!
Wakulla County's natural assets create profitable timber and seafood industries. Restaurants, hotels, motels, condominiums,Wakulla Manor Nursing Home, Wakulla Bank, Citizens Bank, and The Wakulla News provide job opportunities as well. St. Marks Powders, a major defense contractor, employs 500 people and is Wakulla County's largest employer. Wakulla lies just to the south of the state capitol, Tallahassee. The waters of the Gulf of Mexico moderate Wakulla County's climate, as breezes cool the air in the summer and provide warmth in the winter. Within the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, with its famous white lighthouse, and the adjacent Apalachicola National Forest, lies a natural paradise: crystal lakes, clear springs, dense woods, saltwater ponds, and marshes. Both preserves allow fresh and saltwater fishing.
The county's four rivers-St. Marks, Wakulla, Sopchoppy, and the Ochlockonee-are favorite waters for canoeing and boating. Shell Point adds sailing and sail boarding to the panorama of water sports.
Growing up in Wakulla County, there is many things to do. Whether going to the beach, hunting, playing sports in Hudson Park or for the county, and spending time at the schools, there is something for everyone. To visit the Interactive Tour of Wakulla County, click here
