The Beaches
Enjoy the serenity and quiet of what the local residents call “the
Beaches.” Sugar white sand beaches, facing
west for the most striking sunsets, offer crystal clear waters, all located just
three miles west of
Port St. Joe.
Protected by St. Joseph Bay Peninsula, which creates a barrier island, the beaches
has very little undertow, making it one of the safest beaches in Florida. The
emphasis here is family. The anglers (fishermen) find a mecca of ideal
angling, mama is pleased, the children are safe on the calm beaches and everyone
goes home with a famous Florida tan. St. Joe Beach offers seclusion and
easy access to the all the conveniences: airport, shops, mall, etc.
Among the many local opportunities: surf-fishing, crabbing, strolling along the
water’s edge, picking up shells while enjoying the clear blue water and
the seagulls’ cries while the sandpipers weave in and out along the shore.
There are no crowds here, no hordes of tourists, no throngs of people jostling
for a place on the beach. In addition to the rolling waves, visitors may
quietly observe a sea turtle laying its eggs at moonlight or hatchlings
erupting from the sand to begin life’s journey. Surf, sand and sun all
combine to lead you into one of the most beautiful beaches along the Florida
Coast. You will truly “discover Old Florida”, as you enjoy
mother nature at it's best!
