Julington
Creek - Anchorage
We
woke up to a perfect day...comfortable temperatures all day and clear blue sky, so
different from yesterday. We enjoyed our morning watching people in the park
and on the dock in Green Cove Spring. Everyone seemed to be grateful for such an
amazing Sunday. Our destination today was Julington Creek, we'd been told about
a wonderful fish camp (restaurant) we had to try, called Clark's. Julington
Creek is surrounded by beautiful homes with well kept yards and a few marinas. The
entry to the creek looks more like a small lake and only narrows into a creek a mile or two up river. We anchored just inside the creek since a 15'
bridge would keep us from getting to the fish camp on The Pearl. We had to take the dinghy past the marinas and the bridge to Clark's.
Clark's
Fish Camp has been a local's favorite for decades. Originally it was a bait and
tackle shop, they expanded to a seafood restaurant about 30 years ago. They
have a large, unique menu offering seafood, steak and exotic meats. They
maintain a fish camp atmosphere with simple, rustic surroundings. Besides the
wonderful food the restaurant draws people in because they house the largest
private collection of taxidermy in North America. Every corner of the
restaurant is full of animals…everything you can think of is here.
We
had a late, and too large, lunch of wonderful shrimp and trout. The servings
were so large that we each had enough left over for dinner tonight. We had fun
looking at all the animals and the live alligator they have...our granddaughter
would love this place. The rest of the day was spent enjoying the beautiful
day on the boat and watching the weekend traffic on the river.
