This area of Florida’s Panhandle is nicknamed “the Forgotten Coast” as it is the last remaining stretch of unspoiled, uncommercialized pristine Gulf Coast beaches. Free from high-rises and strip malls, Port St. Joe’s is a treasured escape off the beaten path, boasting white-sand dune beaches, thriving marine ecosystems, and a small coastal community with plenty of heart. Dine on fresh-caught seafood by St. Joseph Bay, grab some fresh air on a walk through T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, or build sandcastles with the kids on beautiful St. Joe Beach.
Set about 45 miles east of the resorts at Panama City Beach and just 12 miles east of sunny Mexico Beach, the charming town offers the perfect spot to rest, relax, and explore the beauty of the sea. With its prime spot right on Florida's Gulf Coast, Port St. Joe makes it easy to get out on the water and explore. As one of the top spots for deep-sea fishing, scalloping, and paddleboarding, you'll never have to go too far to find some fun.
Due to its wide white-sand beach and lack of commercialization, Port St. Joe Beach is rarely crowded. Florida’s Forgotten Coast offers a much more serene, natural feeling to the Gulf of Mexico coastline than its tourist-centric neighbors, which makes it a perfect retreat for some peace and quiet or relaxing with the family.
If you're looking for something a little faster-paced, make the quick coastal drive to Panama City Beach to take in the cultural hot spot. Walk down the beaches, explore all of the unique shops, and make sure to stay for the world-renowned nightlife for a little bit of spice after the sun goes down.
Take a day wandering the trails at the St. Joseph Bay State Buffer Preserve seven miles away and learn about the local wildlife and marine life. These protected natural coastal landscapes are a great place to snap a few pictures of rare plants and unparalleled ocean views to send to your friends back home.
Treat yourself to sun-soaked days, a relaxed ambiance, and warm tropical breezes when you book a vacation rental in the stunning seaside town of Port St. Joe. When was your last tropical getaway?
