The warm, clear water of the Gulf of Mexico beckons travelers to come and enjoy its beauty. St. Joseph Bay is a tranquil paradise for snorkeling, canoeing and stand-up paddle boarding. Enjoy the crystal-clear water or spread a blanket on the white sand beach and just soak up the sun.
Port St. Joe Marina is known as "American's Friendliest Marina" for good reason. Whether travelers arrive in their own boat or wish to book a charter excursion, the marina has everything a visitor needs for a day or a week on the water. Chartered fishing trips with knowledgeable guides are available, as are "chart your own course" rentals. Fishermen will enjoy the chance to book an off-shore excursion and do a little fishing for speckled trout, redfish and tarpon. For the ocean enthusiast not interested in fishing, everything from party boats to sailboats and kayaks are available for rental.
Travelers looking for activities other than boating or sunbathing will find plenty to do in Port St. Joe. The Centennial Museum offers a look at the history of this region of Florida and even has a historic steam engine to explore. If a game of golf sounds good, the St. Joe Bay Country Club offers a beautiful 18-hole course that is open to the public. The Port St. Joe farmers' market is held on the first and third Saturdays from April through November. Each October, Port St. Joe is host to the Nashville Songwriters' Festival on the Bay. Riding enthusiasts will want to check out nearby stables that offer family-friendly guided trail rides and romantic moonlit rides along the beach.
Just across the St. Joseph Bay, visitors will find the St. Joseph Peninsula State Park. This pristine gem was ranked as one of the top state parks in the nation. Here, visitors can find white sand dunes, deep forests and lovely beaches. It is a great place to take a picnic and spend a day.
Come to Port St. Joe and discover just how much fun a relaxing seaside vacation can be!
