Our Areas Along the Forgotten Coast

Port St. Joe

Whereas Apalachicola’s world may be the oyster, in nearby Port St. Joe the crustacean of renown is the bay scallop, harvested recreationally during the summer months. Charters take watersports enthusiasts on scalloping expeditions and also snorkeling and diving to local wrecks and ledges. Port St. Joe is the site of Florida’s first Constitution Convention and a museum remembers it and the erstwhile town of St. Joseph.

Port St. Joe is a little town with a big heart and it’s a place where visitors feel more than welcome. It has many parks, playgrounds, walking trails, boat ramps and fishing venues. Also, Reid Avenue, just one block from US Highway 98, offers shops of all kinds and sizes, diverse restaurants from which to choose, arts and craft galleries and boutiques and several local support offices. The city also boasts of large, well-stocked supermarkets, banks and related financial establishments, beach-oriented clothing stores, vehicular support entities and other businesses available to meet the needs of locals and visitors alike.

Whether you're looking for that dream vacation, a great place to relocate, or the perfect place to retire, Port St. Joe may be just what you're looking for.

C-30A

This is called C-30 because the road used to be County Road 30.  This is now State Highway 30-A and it takes you from Highway 98 just east of Port St. Joe on a scenic route along beautiful bay front property and on by the entrance to Cape San Blas or Highway 30-E. Once you pass Cape San Blas and before you get to Indian Pass there is a beautiful area that fronts the Gulf of Mexico.  

Then you pass the world famous Indian Pass Raw Bar then the next area of water is Indian Lagoon.  Your Eastward route on Highway 30 will then take you into Franklin county where this road connects back into Highway 98 and on into Apalachicola. 

So in this area you can find beautiful bay front, lagoon front or gulf front property. 

WindMark Beach

There are still five home sites to be sold at WindMark Beach Phase I - including two on the beach and one beachfront home - though none of the five are currently for sale. That first phase also includes a pool club and several community docks, as well as an extensive conservation area. 

"WindMark Beach is planned as a high-end beachfront resort destination," said Kevin M. Twomey, president of The St. Joe Co. "We initially planned to start sales in the new phase of WindMark Beach later this year, but have elected to wait for higher values we believe can be achieved after additional progress is made on the construction of infrastructure and amenities."

Demand is expected to the high for the lots to be released. If you desire information on Windmark, please contact us and we will have a complete package mailed to you and keep you on the update to let you know about future releases.
