The area is clean and private with natural vegetation, very safe and family oriented. Leave your belongings on the beach and no worry. Crowds? Forget it! The water is clear and appears emerald green most of the time. Walking in the wooded dunes is a real treat. It is very enjoyable to visit the State Park and hike out toward the tip of the Cape taking the path along the bay. If you're quiet, you will usually come upon groups of small Cape deer.
The beach at the St Joseph State Park was selected most beautiful in the U.S. 2001 by Dr Beach's annual rating. That beach is 2 miles north of Sea Dune...essentially a continuation of the same beach except at the State Park, in the absence of any development, the dunes remain in their natural state...in some places up to 30 ft high. There are no bars, motels, game rooms etc on the Cape and traffic is limited to people renting homes, state park visitors and service folks. Cape San Blas is sparsely developed with plenty of open areas for meandering.

otherwise known as St. Joseph Peninsula.  

You can fish right on the beach in front of the house and usually catch some whiting and the occasional flounder. Sometimes there are numerous blue crabs. The best fishing is at an area called the "stumps" about 2 miles south of the house. Look for the rock barrier wall on the gulf side...that's where it is. It's also fun to take a boat out into the bay where the fishing is also very good. Boat rentals are available at Presnell's Marina (between the Cape & Port St. Joe).
The bay is great for snorkeling. There are areas in the State Park (further out on the Cape) that are shallow where you can walk out waist deep, then lay down to snorkel. At Sea Dune, the Cape is only 900 feet wide. From the Cape back to the mainland it is 10 miles across the bay at its widest point so you are really "out in the water".
