WHAT TO DO IN CAPE SAN BLAS

As you walk along the quiet beach, you will find an amazing variety of shells or just enjoy watching the dolphins swim by. Activities such as swimming, snorkeling, kayaking or fishing in the surf are also a favorite. Explore St. Joseph Peninsula State Park just a few minutes away with it nature trails, huge natural dunes, fishing, and wildlife.

You may want to rent bikes and golf carts to cruise on the many miles of bike paths or kayaks and motor boats to explore the bay, gulf, many waterways or fresh water lakes. Or you may prefer sunset horseback riding on the beach as it can also be conveniently arranged. There is a local Country Club open to the public a few miles away offering a golf course along with tennis. For water exploration there are five separate boat ramps within a few miles offering access to St Joseph's Bay, Apalachicola Bay, St. Vincent’s Island National Park, Lake Wimico for large mouth Florida Bass and many other waterways.

If you're not in the mood to cook or stay in, there are a number of great, local restaurants and night spots nearby. Cape San Blas has much to offer but many of the surrounding towns are enjoyable to visit and very close. Port St. Joe is 15 minutes away with numerous shops and restaurants; a good place to stock up on all of the provisions you'll need. St George Island, about 45 minutes away, is also known for its lack of high rises and offers shopping, fishing, dining and a state park. It is just 20 minutes to the historic and quaint fishing town of Apalachicola. Here you will find some great shopping as well as many restaurants offering the worlds best seafood along with night spots. Walk the boardwalk and see what catch the fishing boats have brought in for the day or visit the charming shops.
