Once ALL of Florida's miles of sandy beaches looked something like Cape San Blas!

Cape San Blas is one of Florida’s best-kept secrets. It is the way that Florida used to be before high rises and condos erased the beaches. There are no buildings on Cape San Blas over 4 stories tall. You can still see, walk and enjoy the beaches. Sea turtles still come to the beaches every year and lay their eggs. Dolphins swim by offshore.

Ranked America’s #1 Beach for 2002 by Dr. Stephen Leatherman, commonly known as Dr. Beach, Cape San Blas is home to St. Joseph’s Peninsula State Park, as well as a variety of secluded beach front homes and small developments. The 2,416 acre state park starts at the “tip” of the peninsula and continues for an uninhabited eight-miles of towering dunes, pristine beaches and crystal clear waters.

A neighbor to the famous St. George Island, Cape San Blas is a rare pristine beach hidden away, undiscovered, from the rest of the world. Immense sand dunes lord over the cape, not high-rise condominiums. The sand is fine and sugary, the water is clean and clear, and sea oats seem to dance in the moonlight, brushed by a light ocean breeze.

This is what makes St. Joseph's Peninsula, also known as Cape San Blas, so special. Because of it's pristine nature, calm water and lack of crowds, environmental experts have consistently rated this area as the #1 beach in the continental U.S. and within the top five including Hawaii! That's from a field of over 600 beaches!

The Cape is one hour east of Panama City Beach, two hours southwest of Tallahassee and just 30 minutes from historic Apalachicola and St. George Island. It is a narrow peninsula approximately 20 miles long that extends into the Gulf. Bordered by spectacular sunsets over the gulf and a scallop-laden bay, it is a nature lover's paradise.

"We have been all over Florida, so we knew that we wanted to be on the Northwest coast where the beaches are prettier, the sand is whiter and the water is clearer and cleaner. We started our search in Pensacola, visited Destin, Fort Walton Beach and Panama City and many areas in between. We found those areas too congested.  When we found Cape San Blas and St. Joseph's Peninsula a few years ago, we knew that we had finally found our piece of paradise. There is no place that I know of like it."     ----Preston & Sherrill Russ, residents since March, 2000
