There’s something about Cape San Blas that makes you slow down, in the best way; beach days feel endless and the sunsets are a dream. In between St. Joseph Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, this quiet peninsula is part of Florida’s “Forgotten Coast,” but once you’ve been here, you won’t forget it.
Locals call it “The Cape,” and it has all the charm you’d expect from a laid-back beach town. You won’t find high-rises or heavy traffic here, but you will find a welcoming community, beautiful scenery, plus a wide variety of real estate options.
Although the scenery is stunning, it’s not just the views that win people over. Here, days are filled with paddleboarding, kayaking, and fishing on both the bay and the Gulf side. You’ll also find locals and visitors biking, shelling, hiking, or snorkeling. Oh, and riding horses on the beach is a thing here…not kidding.
Cape San Blas is just as welcoming to pets as it is to people. The beaches here are dog-friendly, so your four-legged family members can tag along for the fun. Nature lovers will feel right at home too, especially during sea turtle nesting season. Gulf County is the largest nesting area in Northwest Florida, and Cape San Blas is one of the best places to see these creatures lay their eggs in the wild.
When it comes to dining and local favorites, you’re covered. Grab shrimp tacos from Peachy’s Beach Eats or enjoy comfort food at Cone Heads. LongBill’s is a great pick for pizza and cold drinks after a day on the water, while Skully’s Low Country Boil serves up flavorful seafood that hits the spot. With plenty of great spots to choose from, you definitely won’t go hungry.
