This section of the coast was damaged by the big storm surge of Hurricane Dennis in 2005. As on other occasions in its history, St. Marks was flooded badly with saltwater. A principal casualty this time was the landmark Posey's Oyster Bar --"Home of the Topless Oyster." Attracting people from Tallahassee and elsewhere ever since the 1920s, this quaint establishment overhanging the river (so as to be able to serve alcohol when Wakulla County was "dry") was one of the oldest businesses in Wakulla County. It enjoyed a measure of regional fame. Irreparably damaged, Posey's now belongs, with Ambrister and Arbuthnot and the Spanish, to the long history of St. Marks.
