When you're ready to hit the beach, you'll discover miles of natural beauty just waiting to be explored. Windmark Beach public access is just one mile away and St. Joe Beach is less than a 5 minute drive. Whether you're casting a line for some shore fishing, strolling along the shoreline in search of seashells, splashing in the refreshing saltwater, or simply soaking up the sun, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Venture into nearby Port St. Joe for a taste of local life with charming shops, delicious restaurants, and convenient grocery stores. Stroll along Reid Avenue in downtown to experience the quaint shops and eateries. Make sure to visit the historical Lighthouse and the Sea Turtle Museum — we love our sea turtles!
Nearby Windmark Beach Village Center offers great food at Bruno's Pizza, a state of the art fitness center, Fit-As-A-Fittle (day passes available for purchase), cool beverages at The Mill Mercantile and Social, and much more!
