Port St. Joe and County Government
Port St. Joe is the county seat and contains the courthouse, principal county offices, port facilities, businesses, and coastal services. Its location on St. Joseph Bay supports fishing, boating, and waterfront tourism.
The city also has an industrial and shipping history, although tourism and local services are now major parts of the community.
Wewahitchka and the Dead Lakes
Wewahitchka is a small northern city near the Chipola River and the Dead Lakes. Fishing, paddling, wildlife viewing, and rural services distinguish it from the coastal county seat.
Water levels and access conditions can change seasonally, so current local guidance should be checked before river or lake recreation.
St. Joseph Bay and Cape San Blas
St. Joseph Bay is a shallow, relatively calm estuary with seagrass, fish, turtles, dolphins, and other marine life. Kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, fishing, and eco-tours are common.
Cape San Blas is a narrow barrier peninsula curving around the bay. Official tourism information describes it as approximately 17 miles long, with white sand, Gulf water, biking, hiking, fishing, and family recreation.
Coastal and Inland Nature
Gulf County combines barrier beaches, bays, marshes, rivers, forests, and low-density communities. Indian Pass and the St. Joseph Peninsula are especially important for fishing and coastal wildlife.
Hurricanes and storm surge can change beach access and facility conditions. Current county and park information should be used before travel.
