Nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and St. Joseph's Bay, Cape San Blas is a natural paradise of pristine beaches, emerald waters, and protected wildlife habitats, and fall and winter bring mild days and quiet, uncrowded shores. Keep an eye out for deer, foxes, eagles, ospreys, sea turtles, and even the occasional black bear. Just minutes away, St. Joseph Peninsula State Park offers 2,500 acres of unspoiled beauty, 10 miles of untouched beach and bay shoreline, and a convenient boat ramp.
