When you become a member of APSTA, you’re not just joining an association—you’re becoming part of a passionate community that cares deeply about preserving and enhancing life along the beautiful east end of Franklin County. From the sandy shores of Alligator Point and Bald Point to the peaceful charm of Bay North and St. Teresa, our members work together to protect and improve the place we all love to call home.
We partner with Franklin County officials to ensure vital services—like emergency medical care, law enforcement, fire protection, road maintenance, boat ramps, and trash pickup—continue to meet the needs of our coastal community.
We keep a close eye on taxing authorities and represent you at key county and state meetings to make sure your interests are front and center.
We collaborate directly with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, including the Area Captain and deputies, to support crime prevention efforts, improve reporting, and address community concerns like speeding, traffic, and parking issues.
We keep you in the loop. Stay up to date on community happenings and important updates through our newly expanded Facebook Page and our website. You can also reach any of our officers or board members through the email addresses listed on our Board Members page. And better yet, you’re always welcome to attend our monthly Board meetings—held at 10:00 AM on the second Saturday of each month at Mission-by-the-Sea Church.
And hey—we don’t just work hard, we have fun too! From our twice-a-year beach and bike path cleanups to the annual Fourth of July party, holiday dinner, and our much-loved Christmas Golf Cart Parade, APSTA is also a wonderful way to connect with your neighbors and build lasting community spirit.
Becoming a member is easy—and important. If you’re a property owner (or a family member of one) within our service area, you’re eligible. Each property gets one vote, regardless of how many parcels are owned.
