Wildlife, Soft Sands, Pet Friendly Lodging And Cape San Blas Vacation Rentals
The "Forgotten Coast" is a phrase used to identify the Cape San Blas coastal area. Is the name related to Pirate lore...Spanish explorers...native Indians? Sorry, nothing quite that exhilarating. The area of northwest Florida's Gulf Coast received this intriguing nickname after the Florida State tourism department forgot to include it in its vacation marketing material.
Local residents and vacationers to Cape San Blas are completely fine with the lack of attention by the State and others. The pristine beaches and wildlife refuges are just the way they like them. The absence of large scale developments, high rise condos and amusement parks helps to retain the serenity of this exquisite Gulf Coast vacation destination. So prepare yourself for a vacation experience unlike others you may have had. Find your perfect Cape San Blas Vacation Rental and feel the stress melt away.
If serenity, nature and 30 foot high sand dunes are your preferred vacation environment, then Cape San Blas is for you. From St. Joseph Peninsula State Park to St. Joseph’s Bay Buffer Preserve and beyond, there are minimal commercial intrusions and unparalleled beauty. In 2002, St. Joseph Peninsula State Park's beach was named the Best Beach in America by Dr. Beach (Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman). Also consider that Franklin County, home to Cape San Blas, has over 85 Percent of its land protected as Parks, wildlife preserves, State forests or other natural areas.
Here's a bonus - pack up your puppy! Its beaches are pet friendly. A rarity in today's world are vacation destinations that embrace our canine companions. Pet friendly vacation rentals are in abundance. Beach front vacation rentals are ideal locations to watch the fabled Gulf Coast sunsets or stroll the sugary sands with your family and pet. From Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe around to Apalachicola, marine life, bald eagles and a host of other nature's finest creatures are in abundance. Cape San Blas Hotels on the other hand are not as abundant as other vacation resort areas. But don't fret, the hotel search widget on our site will scan over 50 of the top hotel online reservation systems to find you exactly what you want.
But just because the setting is laid-back and not overly commercialized doesn't mean there's nothing to do. Watersports, boating, fishing, sight seeing and fabulous dining experiences are readily available.
Out And About

Be forewarned, the difference between a Cape San Blas vacation and Spring Break in Panama City Beach can be...well let's just say...more stimulating. But outside of Spring Break, PCB has much to offer. Be sure to take in Happy Hour or the awesome seafood offered at Schooners. Self proclaimed as the "Last Local Beach Club", the food and casual Gulf Front atmosphere bring back memories of beach entertainment venues long gone. From one end of Panama City Beach to the other, you will find dining, activities and entertainment to satisfy every taste and age.
