There is an activity that takes place every year up in north Florida that attracts millions of people to the Florida-Alabama state line. This one-of-a-kind fish toss and beach party all rolled into one just happens to be legendary—and perhaps the biggest beach party on the East Coast. If you’re looking to get in a little fun and sun this upcoming summer, check out the out-of-the-ordinary Florida event.
One of the coolest events taking place in Florida every year is the legendary interstate Mullet Toss, right on the state line of Florida and Alabama.
Everyone who participates in the Mullet Toss will throw a dead mullet over the state line of Florida and Alabama to see who gets the fish the farthest.
Hosted by the Flora-Bama Lounge, visitors are able to set up shop on the beach and participate all weekend long in the activities, music, and of course, food!
And while the fish are already dead and will not be harmed in the process of this fish toss, the event still donates all the mullet that have been tossed to the birds and donate the rest to the local zoo.
The actual Mullet Toss will have different times for kids and adults, with the finals being held every day at 4:30 p.m, so make sure to get there early to secure your spot for the fun.
