T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park

T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park is Cape San Blas' most visited attraction, and it’s not hard to see why. This spectacular park is a nature lover's dream, featuring a wide range of outdoor recreation along the Gulf of America and St. Joseph Bay. Relax at the beach, watch wildlife, fish from the shoreline, hike nature trails, paddle the bay, look for seashells, and more!

St. Joseph Bay

Spend time splashing in the calm and shallow waters of St. Joseph Bay during your vacation. Access the bay from anywhere along the Cape and experience world-class snorkeling, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. 

Salinas Park

Similar to TH Stone, Salinas Park offers access to both the bay and the gulf. Visit the Gulfside for a fun beach day, or head to the Bayside and play a game of pickleball, walk along the boardwalk, and observe wildlife. You can also pick up the Loggerhead Trail here, a scenic paved path that runs the length of the Cape.

Cape San Blas Lighthouse

Although the Cape San Blas Lighthouse has moved from its original location on the Cape, it’s still one of the best attractions to visit while you are in town. Travel across the bay to the town of Port St. Joe and visit the historic Cape San Blas Lighthouse.
