Beaches of Florida's Forgotten Coast
Wondering what the there is to do at the beaches in Old Florida? Well, I can tell you just what you want to know. With The Forgotten Coast encompassing the beaches of Cape San Blas, Indian Pass, St. Joe Beach, WindMark Beach, and Mexico Beach; I can guarantee you’ll find something to please the whole family.
At Cape San Blas you’ll find public parks and play grounds, restaurants where you can dine outside and of course lots of white sandy beaches. You can choose to stop on the gulf and go for a surf or drop the boat in the bay in search of scallops. If you’re looking for an adventurous day on the water or just a relaxing day with the kids; Cape San Blas won’t let you down.
If relaxing and being one with nature appeals to you then you can make your way over to Indian Pass. The almost primitive beaches of Indian Pass have everything a nature lover enjoys. From bird watching to beach driving (with a permit, of course) you can be alone with nature all day and evening. Just across the way from Indian Pass is St. Vincents Island National Wildlife Refuge where you can hike, fish, hunt, or just enjoy the sights of animals such as American alligator, bald eagle, indigo snake, and many others.
WindMark Beach is the newest “attraction” in town. It offers 3.5 miles of secluded sandy white beaches with a Village Center consisting of a restaurant, shopping, and more. Located beachfront in the WindMark Village Center is an amphitheater where you may find them playing a movie on a late summer eve. With plans to add more shops, a small market, a spa and fitness center, and an ice cream and coffee shop; there is not a doubt in my mind that WindMark Beach will be the most popular Beach located along Florida's Forgotten Coast.
St. Joe Beach and Mexico Beach are just a stones throw from Port St. Joe. With plenty of restaurants and again; miles of sandy white beaches and blue-green water, St. Joe Beach and Mexico Beach may be just right for you. With very few rip-currents and undertows they offer some of the safest waters around. You can take the kids on their first parasailing adventure or play on the playground in front of Toucan’s all day; either way, I’m sure you’ll please them.
Living in “Forgotten Coast” has been an adventure for my family and I and I’m sure it can be for your’s also. Contact Bluewater Realty when you’re ready to go from City Slicker to Beach Bum!
