Where to stay on Cape San Blas

Cape San Blas Road runs north to south along the peninsula, and the Stump Hole narrows divide it. There is no supermarket store on the peninsula, so if you want daily conveniences nearby, the south end is closest to Port St. Joe.

North Cape
Stay closest to T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, which offers beautiful white-sand beaches and hiking trails. Secluded Dunes is nearest to the gate and Seagrass a few miles south. Barrier Dunes is the cape's one dense pocket of townhomes.
South Cape
South of the narrows the beach faces south, so the sun tracks across. This end sits closest to the highway, which shortens every errand, and Salinas Park at the base of the cape has both a gulf side and a bay side access. The cape's gated communities are all at the north end, so the stock down here is mostly standalone houses.

Know before you book

Fly into ECP and rent the car there.

Northwest Florida Beaches International is the closest airport, about two hours from mid-cape. You’ll need a car to get to your destination.

Driving on the sand needs a county permit.

Buy it from the Gulf County Tax Collector in Port St. Joe or at the county welcome center, and bring your license, proof of insurance and proof of ownership. Out-of-county visitors pay a separate rate.

There is no supermarket on the cape.

Scallop Cove, mid-cape, sells groceries, ice, firewood, and fuel and has an ATM. For a full shop, Duren's Piggly Wiggly in Port St. Joe is 20 to 30 minutes off the peninsula. Indian Pass Raw Bar is about 15 minutes east, and Apalachicola's restaurants are about 45 minutes.

There’s a strict “Leave no trace” ordinance.

Gulf County treats anything left unattended on the sand from an hour after sunset until sunrise as discarded, and it becomes county property. Holes dug during the day have to be filled before you leave, and glass is banned outright on county beaches.


Cape San Blas vacation rental FAQs

Straight answers to what people ask us most.

How much does a Cape San Blas vacation rental cost?

+
The median Cape San Blas rental is $373 a night. A week comes to about $2,527, and a month runs $9,480. Add 12% tax on any stay of six months or less plus whatever the owner charges for cleaning and additional fees. Because you book direct, there is no booking fee.

What is the cheapest month to visit Cape San Blas?

+
Rates are the lowest in the winter season at about $348/night. Early fall and late spring are more affordable shoulder seasons at $451/night and $496/night respectively.

Is Cape San Blas the same as Port St. Joe?

+
No. Cape San Blas is an unincorporated peninsula in Gulf County, while Port St. Joe is the town across St. Joseph Bay, a 20-to-30-minute drive from mid-cape, where the grocery store, the pharmacies and the hospital are. Most cape rentals carry a Port St. Joe mailing address, which is what can cause confusion.

Are dogs allowed on the beach at Cape San Blas?

+
Yes, leashed dogs are allowed on every county beach in Cape San Blas, and the county puts waste stations at the accesses. Three places are off limits: the state park at the north tip, Rish Recreation Area mid-cape, and the Air Force property on the cape's elbow. There is no fenced dog beach in the county.

Is Cape San Blas good for a trip with young kids?

+
Cape San Blas is good for kids, especially on the bay side. St. Joseph Bay is flat and clear, shallow enough at its southern end to wade a long way out, and Salinas Park at the base of the cape puts a bay beach and a playground on the same site.
