Welcome
Flotilla 1 2, Apalachee Bay Coast Guard Auxiliary Information Portal

Flotilla 1-2 is privileged to call the Apalachee Bay area home. For many years, the Flotilla used and maintained the St. Marks Lighthouse. Originally constructed in 1829 by Winslow Lewis of Boston, the structure continues to serve as a navigational beacon for Florida's Big Bend area. The Flotilla used the lighthouse as its base of operations for its marine radio services for over 20 years before the lighthouse ownership was transfered from the Coast Guard to the Dept. of Interior.

Until recently or Flotilla's Area of Responsability (AOR) was the coastal waters from just southeast of the Econfina River to half way between St. Marks and Shell Point FL. Today, our Flotilla's AOR spans further west all the way to Apalachicola. Our meetings are held on the first Saturday of the month at the Wakulla Co. Fire Department in Crawfordville.

Please look around our site. We hope our resources are useful. If you have any suggestions, are interested in membership or would like to have your boat inspected, please feel free to contact the Flotilla. Our leadership team can be reached by email at: FC@uscgaux.net

<Note we recently changed our name from St. Marks to Apalachee Bay to better refelct the area that our Flotilla serves. During this transition time we will be updating graphics and web pages with our new name.>
