Destination guide
Sun and fun at Cape San Blas vacation home rentals
Perched on northwest Florida's sun-spangled Gulf Coast, Cape San Blas is an alluring destination for anyone looking to really get away from it all. The jewel in its pristine crown is St. Joseph Bay, widely regarded as one of the state's most tranquil coastal hotspots – think powder-soft white sand, turquoise water, and far fewer crowds than you'll typically find in many other Florida favorites. Cape San Blas vacation rentals range from cozy beach cottages to expansive family houses, so you're sure to find one that will make for an unforgettable break.
Things to do
Sightseeing near Cape San Blas vacation homes
Away from the beach, you'll find plenty of stimulating attractions within easy reach of Cape San Blas vacation rentals. The Cape San Blas Lighthouse is an iconic local landmark, first constructed in 1849 and safely relocated to Port St. Joe in 2014. For a primer in local history, swing by the Constitution Convention Museum, which celebrates the work of the delegates who drafted Florida's first constitution in 1838. The museum can be found within a lush state park, which makes an enchanting spot for a leisurely afternoon stroll.
Activities
What to do near your Cape San Blas summer rental
The crystal-clear waters teem with scallops during the summer months, specifically at points where freshwater rivers meet the ocean. Grab your snorkeling gear and get hunting – just be warned that you'll need sharp eyes and steady hands to catch a decent haul. Fishing, crabbing, and oystering are also wildly popular local pastimes. If that sounds too much like hard work, rest assured that you'll find plenty of warmly welcoming restaurants where you can feast like royalty on local seafood. The beaches of Cape San Blas are highly conducive to lazy days of sunbathing and swimming, but if you feel like getting more active, try horseback riding across the sand – it's a particularly enchanting experience at sunset.
