Big Bend Scenic Byway
St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge, FL

A 12,300-acre barrier island at the west end of Apalachicola Bay, St. Vincent is dissected by dune ridges, which are geological records of ancient beaches and fluctuating sea levels over the last 5,000 years. The interdune areas vary from freshwater lakes and sloughs to dry upland pine forests. St. Vincent is larger and wider than most northern Gulf Coast barrier islands, and is one of the southeastern breeding islands for the endangered Red Wolf.
