Port St. Joe, Florida – The Forgotten Coast
As guests of Port St. Joe, we were invited to learn more about this quiet and sometimes overlooked destination in the Florida Panhandle and were graciously welcomed by all of the individuals and businesses that hosted us on their boats, in their restaurants, and at the local nightspots where friends, neighbors, and visitors come together to listen to live music, share lighthearted conversation, and enjoy the cool evening air.
Captain Bobby’s boat ride took us out to Cape San Blas and St. Joseph Peninsula State Park
Captain Gary gave us a tour of the Intracoastal Waterway
We enjoyed a sunset cruise with Captain Bill
Seafood dinner at Indian Pass
Drinks at Haughty Heron
Listening to a local band at The Thirsty Goat
Port St. Joe is a sportsman’s paradise and a great destination to get away and take a break from everyday hectic life, to enjoy quiet time (especially with family), eat fresh and simple local oysters and seafood, and stay active enjoying all of the outdoor parks and nature preserves the area has to offer.
Fishing is a large part of life in Port St. Joe

Thank you, Amee. Port St. Joe would be a great vacation spot for your family. 🙂
Great article on the Forgotten Coast with fabulous photos…thanks
Thank you, Becky. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
If I may, there is one correction that should be made. The lighthouse that is referenced and pictured above is the Cape San Blas lighthouse, which was recently moved, over the objections of many Cape San Blas residents, to Port St Joe.
Hi Karen,
Now that you mention it, I remember hearing about that during our tour, so I made the change to the caption under the picture.
Thank you,
Gwen
