2002 Best Beach in America:
The beautiful pristine sand, whispering sea oats and majestic sand dunes were much of the reason behind the award, to this community, of '2002 Best Beach in America'. Rarely does an unspoiled area offer such a great quality of life. The white sand beaches of Cape San Blas, Indian Pass, Mexico Beach and St. Joe Beach are among the most beautiful beaches in America. Unlike other over-crowded coastal communities, the beaches of this stretch of seemingly 'forgotten coastline' offer white sand, blue waters and escape from the chaos of urban life. If it is tranquility you seek, you have come to the right place.
Explore The Rich History of Cape San Blas:
If you are new to our area, try to squeeze in some time to investigate our early Native Americans and their remnants of middens of shells hidden away by the passing of time. Move on to the Spanish Explorers who permanently stamped their place in our history by inscribing the very names we hold dear. Check out the new 'Sleeping Beauty' gift shop, and climb up to the very top of the newly refurbished Cape San Blas lighthouse now once again beaconing visitors to come, to come. If you're really lucky, you can catch a full moon and climb so high you can witness a 360° view of the most amazing, spectacular panorama of what is fast becoming the crown jewel of the gulf coast.
