Cape San Blas is a hook of land sticking out from the mainland nestled between Apalachicola and Port St. Joe in Florida.  Voted #1 beach in the U.S. by Dr. Steve Leatherman a.k.a . "Dr. Beach".  There are miles of beautiful sugar white powder sand and beautiful emerald waters on the Gulf side of Cape San Blas, Florida. There are stunning, emerald clear, shallow waters on the Bay side. St. Joe Bay is noted for one of the most fertile scallop beds in the world.  The clear, shallow waters of St. Joseph Bay boast one of the richest breeding grounds for scallops.  So, what was there not to love about vacationing at Cape San Blas? Nothing! We found the place we wanted to have as our home-away-from-home.  After searching for months we kept going back to Barrier Dunes...

There's no place quite like Barrier Dunes! This peaceful, family/child friendly gated community offers everything your family needs to make their vacation memorable located on the Gulf side of Cape San Blas, Florida. Enjoy the beautiful emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico (Emerald Dolphin is gulf front), play tennis or swim in one of two pools (30 steps from Emerald Breeze's  front door), and one of which looks out onto the beach (just a boardwalk away), or fish on one of the fish filled ponds (5 steps behind Emerald Breeze) or offshore. There is also a playground for the little ones (again, only steps away). Everything you'll need for a complete family vacation!

No driving to the beach, boardwalks lead you out to the beautiful white sugar powder sand on the Emerald coast, the Gulf of Mexico. Walking and bike trails lead you to the ocean, pool, tennis courts and playground. Barrier Dunes is adjacent to the wonderful 2500+ acres of St. Joseph State Park in Florida. (http://floridastateparks.org/stjoseph/)  Excellent snorkeling, scalloping and fishing are just a few more activities that await your fun filled vacation at St. Joseph State Park on St. Joseph's Bay right down the road. Fish offshore, take your own boat (boat parking available in Barrier Dunes) or rent a boat or pontoon.  Charter fishing is also nearby. Try http://www.bigtimecharters.biz/ or http://www.captaintrey.com/. Come see why Cape San Blas, Florida is rated as one of the top ten beaches in the Country and enjoy a breathtaking sunset you'll cherish FOREVER!   

Take a break from the beach (if you must) and play some golf.  St. Joseph's Bay Country Club is a pristine 18-hole championship golf course located along beautiful St. Joseph's Bay off County Road C-30.  Mature trees, lush fairways, sloping green and strategically placed hazards highlight this traditional layout.  Enjoy everything St. Joseph's Bay Country Club has to offer... a quality golf facility and a whole lot more.
