Gulf County Real Estate and Outdoor Living on Florida’s Gulf Coast From trophy catches to sugar white sands—discover the best of Florida’s wild side.
If variety of the spice of life, then beautiful Gulf County has it all! Known for its laid-back lifestyle and friendly locals, this predominately rural area features nearly 250 miles of shoreline along the Gulf of Mexico, St. Joseph Bay and inland waterways.
Gulf County is a wonderland for hunters and anglers. The Apalachicola National Forest, Gaskin Wildlife Management Area, G. U. Parker Game Reserve, Ed Ball Wildlife Management Area and numerous other protected woodlands offer thousands of acres where game is plentiful. The Chipola and Apalachicola river systems offer freshwater fishing at its finest, while the crystal-clear waters of the gulf provide virtually unlimited opportunities to bag a trophy catch.
Located in the northern part of the county is the Dead Lakes, one of the southeast’s preeminent freshwater fishing hotspots. Created by the Dead Lakes Dam, this beautiful and unique body of water entices anglers from across the country to pay a visit and wet a hook.
City parks provide great settings for outdoor festivals and events such as the Tupelo Honey Festival held here each spring. Gulf County also features a modern softball complex which hosts numerous tournaments and is a popular facility for teams throughout northwest Florida.
If the beach is calling your name, then St. Joe Beach provides the perfect setting to stick your toes in sugar white sand. Meanwhile, the tranquility of Wewahitchka is an ideal place to unwind or, for the adventurous, the city of Port St. Joe’s revitalized downtown area offers shopping and restaurants galore. Cape San Blas is a popular vacation destination with a wide variety of beachfront and beachside vacation rental homes – just a stone’s throw away from T. H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park’s facilities for camping, boating, birding and hiking.
