5 Things to Do on a Fall Gulf Coast Vacation
Check out some of the unforgettable events that take place between September and November. This includes the Port St. Joe Scallop Festival, Blast On The Bay Songwriters Festival, and Ghosts On The Coast.
Cast your line to see who can reel in the day's biggest catch. Fall is a great time to try and reel in red drum, spotted sea trout, and more. You can purchase a license and fish on your own, or set off with a guide service like Perfect Cast Charters or Congo Charters.
Go for a stroll along the shoreline to see what treasures you can find. Fall is a great time for shelling because the beaches aren’t as crowded. We recommend exploring T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park and William J “Billy Joe” Rish Recreation Area.
Set off on a kayaking adventure. If you feel like captaining your own outing, reserve a rental with our complimentary VayK Gear and paddle along St. Joseph Bay or Apalachicola River Paddling Trail. Water and air temperatures start to drop in the fall, so we recommend dressing in layers.
See if you can find all the turtle sculptures along the Turtle Trail. With eight stops, this adventure takes you to local businesses and spots throughout Port St. Joe, Cape San Blas, and beyond.
