Review:
Cape San Blas is one of the best day-trip vacation spots near Tallahassee, located along the St. Joseph Peninsula approximately 10 miles from the town of Port St. Joe. The cape, which was formerly used as a Confederate Saltworks facility during the American Civil War, is home to Dr. Beach's best beach of 2002, located within the beautiful T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park. Miles of pristine white sands attract swimmers, snorkelers, and sunbathers throughout the year, with expansive stretches of high sand dunes and pine scrub for kayakers and canoers to observe from the water.
Fishing, hiking, cycling, and birdwatching are also common activities at Cape San Blas, which is home to more than 240 native and migratory bird species. Historic attractions include the Cape San Blas Lighthouse, constructed in 1883. Pet-friendly vacation rentals are available for overnight stay, and a number of family-operated restaurants serve up some of the area's best fresh seafood dishes.
