ST. JOSEPH PENINSULA STATE PARK

Located on the tip of Cape San Blas and a half hour drive from Apalach, a visit to the stunning St. Joe Peninsula State Park never disappoints. With crystal-clear waters and sugar white sands that rival any other beaches in the area, an afternoon spent swimming, sunbathing, horseback riding, and beachcombing is one you won’t soon forget. 

The further you venture down the North Cape the more remote and beautiful it becomes, so pick up tasty provisions from the Cape Smokehouse (their popular family packs are great for a crowd) or a pizza from Longbill’s for a family-friendly picnic you’ll be dreaming about until your next stolen day spent on this unbelievably unspoiled beach.
