There is a small white sandy beach area directly across from our community but it's not where I recommend spending the entire day, because there are no facilities and there are much nicer beaches in the area. However, we do enjoy taking our dog there to swim and watch the sunset from this area as it's private, quiet and the water is warmer and calmer. Families with kids will prefer any of the other nearby beaches

The nicest close beach is about 1/2 mile away......Windmark Beach. While you can walk/bike, I typically drive there because it's super easy to take your chairs, cooler, umbrellas, etc. It's very easy to park right at the short path onto the beach and there are brand new, very nice facilities (bathroom) right there. It's typically a quiet and beautiful beach.....perfect for families. You can easily walk down the beach to the Windmark Community Center where you will find a few lovely restaurants. I personally love "The View on 98" for brunch....bottomless Bloody Mary's and Mimosa's. We typically setup our beach camp in the morning at the first Windmark Beach entrance and then walk down for Brunch at The View and then head back to our area to spend the day. About 1 minute further is Port St Joe Beach and about 5 minutes further is Mexico Beach. Both are very nic, white sandy beaches and you will find a few more people there. However, none of the local beaches are commercialized or crowded. All the beaches have been beautified since Hurricane Michael in 2018. Windmark Beach and Port St Joe Beach are both dog friendly . Mexico Beach is NOT dog friendly.

I highly recommend that you take a cooler, lunch, snacks etc and spend at least a day at the St. Joseph State Park at the end of Cape San Blas. It's just gorgeous and worth the drive. You can enjoy the Gulf Side or the Bay side at the end of the Cape as well as some scenic little walking trails that will remind you of being in Costa Rica or the Caribbean. Just make sure you bring some bug repellent if you want to do the walks because sometimes there are yellow biting flies at the cape. The locals swear by Australian Gold sunscreen to repel them. :-). The beaches on the Cape are dog friendly with the exception of the State Park. The park has a little store and also they rent pontoon boats, kayaks and paddle boards.

Port St Joe / Mexico Beach has numerous beach spots where you can enjoy your own personal sandy paradise! St Johns Bay is full of beautiful birds and sights to see. Some of the world's best deep-sea fishing is available, with plenty of charter companies waiting to take you out to the open water.
