The “Forgotten Coast” of Florida is in the Northwest Florida Panhandle. The “Forgotten Coast” is located just down the road from Destin, between Panama City & Apalachicola. It is bounded on the West by Mexico beach, St. Joe Beach & Port St. Joe. On the East you come to Simmons Bayou, Cape San Blas, Indian Pass, Apalachicola, St. George Island, Eastpoint, Carrabelle, Ochlockonee Bay & Panacea.
Each area is a bit different–all are pristine, uncrowded, commercialized & unspoiled! Come enjoy the “other” Florida– Old Florida at it’s finest.
Cape San Blas is between Port St. Joe & Apalachicola, and, in our humble opinion, the best of the best! Cape San Blas, FL consistently ranks in the top 10 BEST BEACHES in the USA–ranking #1 in 2002 and regularly ranked the best pet-friendly beach.
Frommers announced their top 10 destinations & included in the honorees are the Florida Panhandle Beaches! Cape San Blas is close enough to all the excitement you’ll need (IF that is what you want) , yet peaceful, quiet, uncrowded &extremely family-friendly! It reminds me of the Old Florida beaches when I grew up (I’m a Sarasota native).
See a video we put together on a family Spring Break Trip:
If you are looking for putt-putt, go-carts, bungee jumping, water parks, fast food & traffic, this is not the place for you, but we are just 60-miles SE of Panama City. We are delightfully called the “Forgotten Coast.

So many wonderful opportunities for fun, relaxing & making memories on Cape San Blas! Cape San Blas Vacation Rentals
Often called Cape Sand Blas, Cape Sanblas, Cape San Blass, Cape San Blast, Cape Sand Blast or Cape Sandblas–it’s the St. Joseph Peninsula & locals call it simply “The Cape”. No matter what you call it–it’s a great place to be! You won’t find a stop light or a highrise condo here, just miles of uncrowded, unspoiled, dog friendly, pristine, white sand beaches with beautiful St. Joe Bay on one side and The Gulf of Mexico on the other side of the Cape (Barrier Dunes is all Gulf side)! Sounds secluded, but Cape San Blas is close to Port St. Joe (15 min) and Apalachicola (25 min) if you are in need of additional action during your vacation! Panama City is just an hour if you need anything wild!
If you are looking for a warm & friendly beach community that takes pride in a relaxing atmosphere and limited development, this is the place for you. With 20 miles of soft white beaches & spectacular sand dunes nestled between the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the pristine St. Joseph Bay, Cape San Blas, FL is one of the last remaining undiscovered beach sanctuaries along the beautiful Florida Panhandle–definitely one of the last uncrowded ones!
