Well I've been following this site, cause I am looking at property in the Keaton Beach area. Seem like there is alot of positive people here. I am in the fishing business in Canada so I know sometime fishin is not always catchin but it seem like somebody is always willing to help put a guy on some fish. I wonder if someone could give me some advise about the Keaton area and any lead s on a place to look for a lot.
Thanks
yankee

I'm looking for a acre or more to but something on. I need to get out of this D#*m cold weather in the winters. I had a place in Carrelble until 9/11 now I can't find something reasonable $ in that area. How's the fishing around Keaton Beach?

trout fishing can be phenomenal. Redfishing not all that bad either. Offshore, fishing for grouper can be some of the best in FL.

an acre around keaton beach is running around $60K right now... that's in the Leisure Retreats/Yates Creek area. By comparison, 2 years ago, you could buy the same lots for $5-10K... try the links from
http://www.keatonbeach.org to see what's available... but beware some of the realtors.
also, you can get lots in the cedar island area for about the same price-they come at a price, which is much more extensive building restrictions. There, you are in the flood zone, but also mostly within spitting distance of the water.

Hey guys thanks alot, I'm heading to St. Pete FLA. tomorrow my son is in the U. S. Coast Guard and his boat is getting underway this is his first time out. Then I'm heading up to keaton to take a look around wish I could do some fishing while I'm there. But I gotta head over to Sebastain to see my mom I'm sure I'll wet a line there, I hide some rods up in her attic. One more ? can you get some oysters around Keaton I havn't had any since I left Carrabelle?

don't know of any place around keaton to get oysters, although i'm sure there are some. I'd avoid 'em, given that LOTS of folks been getting sick recently. (I know that ain't what you want to hear.) If you buy some, cook em done. real done.

Frankly, I would chose Steinhatchee over Keaton for a lot of reasons (restaurants, stores, choice, river as well as flats, etc, etc). I owned a lot at Steinhatchee, held it for 2 years and tripled my money. You can find some "reasonable" lots off of the water at Steinhatchee. Nothing on the water is "reasonable" anymore.
Roy Deals on 98 out of Perry is closest and best place for raw oysters in the area. One of the restaurants in Steinhatchee may be selling them, although they were always sporadic about it.
Good luck

Thanks again for all the help, I spent 2 days in the keaton area. Found some nice property now the horse trading begins. I did do some wade fishing over in Sebastain and did good on trout till the cold front set in.
