Are you planning on heading to Cape San Blas with the family for Spring Break this year? Not only can you take advantage of our pet-friendly vacation rentals, white sand beaches, blue-green water and amazing Gulf sunsets, but there are also plenty of activities the entire family can enjoy! Following are some of our favorites:
Fishing
It’s not surprising that fishing is one of the most popular activities in Cape San Blas. You can simply cast your line from the beach or wade out to the shallow waters to fish. If you want to get out on the open water you can hire local guides to take you on both inshore and offshore fishing charters.
Inshore charters tend to stay close to shore and the boats are smaller in size. You can expect to catch flounder, redfish and several other species on inshore trips.
Offshore charter boats are typically larger, and travel several miles offshore for the best catch. Expect to reel in flounder, red snapper, mahi-mahi and others offshore.
Enjoy St. Joe’s Peninsula State Park
This 1900-acre wildlife preserve is located on the Gulf of Mexico, across the bay from Port St. Joe. You and your family can take advantage of the 9.5 miles of pristine, un-crowded beaches, and the Wilderness Preserve. The park also provides boat ramp access to St. Joseph’s Bay. You can hike, bird and dolphin watch, swim, kayak and much more when you visit.
Spend the day boating
Cape San Blas is boater’s paradise. The possibilities here are endless. Head out onto the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the protected waters of Eagle Harbor or the blue-green waters that St. Joseph Peninsula is famous for. Don’t have your own boat? No worries, there are plenty of area businesses that that can provide fully equipped boats for rent; pontoons, sailboats, kayaks, center-consoles and more. Should you choose, you can also charter a boat with a captain at the helm. There’s so much to see from the waters off Cape San Blas — sting rays, dolphins and so much more!
Go beach horseback riding
Give your family members an experience they won’t soon forget with a ride on horseback along our pristine beaches. Cape San Blas is one of the few places in the Unites States where this activity is allowed. One-hour rides are guided by experts so there’s no horseback riding experience necessary!
Make a beach bonfire
One of the unique things about Cape San Blas is that they allow bonfires on the beach! And let’s face it, a bonfire is a favorite for all ages — adults, kids and teens. Who doesn’t love a S’more or marshmallow that’s been toasted on a roaring fire? Just be sure to dig a hole for your fire, and cover it up before you leave, so you leave no trace on the beach after you’ve left.
These are just a few of the activities that the whole family can enjoy on your visit to Cape San Blas. So, head to the Forgotten Coast this Spring Break. Your family will thank you for it!
