With 825 miles of sandy coastline, Florida offers endless opportunities for a beach vacation. Find the perfect beach getaway on Florida’s Forgotten Coast and experience the last remaining stretch of unspoiled Gulf Coast beaches with Cape & Coast Premier Properties. Immerse yourself in the region’s authentic Old Florida charm while playing at our beaches, exploring the great outdoors, eating fresh seafood, and learning local history. There are endless reasons to visit the Forgotten Coast, but here are the top five:
Florida’s Forgotten Coast is home to some of Florida’s most unspoiled and uncrowded beaches. Enjoy 250 miles of beautiful beaches, far away from the strip malls and high rises of other popular beach destinations. From St. George Island's award-winning beaches to the white sugar sands of Mexico Beach and Cape San Blas, you’ll find endless places to relax, swim, and soak up the sun.
Nature enthusiasts will fall in love with the diverse ecosystems of our state parks and wildlife refuges. Start your exploration at St. George Island State Park and walk through marshes, vast scrubs, and pine forests on the bay side while birdwatching. The sugary white sands offer the perfect conditions for swimming, shelling, and fishing on the gulf side.
If you are looking to explore an untouched section of the Forgotten Coast, we recommend boating to St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge. This 12,300-acre undeveloped island is a popular spot for biking, fishing, hiking, and wildlife watching. Finally, St. Joseph Peninsula State Park is a wildlife haven that provides a vitally important habitat for beach-nesting birds. Explore the park's beaches and dunes while watching the shorebirds, sea turtles, deer, and butterflies.
The Forgotten Coast is home to endless activities for all ages and interests. Nature lovers have access to endless adventures like fishing, paddling, birding, hiking, biking, boating, golfing, and viewing wildlife. Art lovers find inspiring pieces at our local art galleries, history buffs discover the past at our museums, and pet lovers enjoy plenty of dog-friendly activities. Plan your activities with the assistance of our concierge program and craft your dream vacation!
