Waccassassa Bay

Waccasassa Bay lies on Florida’s Gulf coast, where the Waccasassa River flows through low woodland and marsh to the sea. Fresh and salt water mingle in the broad estuary, creating a landscape of tidal creeks, wetlands and sheltered shallows. The river winds through the coastal forest before reaching the bay, while the open Gulf extends to the west. Fish and shellfish inhabit these rich coastal waters.
