When visiting any destination spot, it’s important to note the best time to visit. Every location has their own “prime times” and visiting a location during the prime season is a great way to ensure that you and your family have the opportunity to take full advantage of all that your destination has to offer.
Visiting Gulf, County FL
If you’ve been yearning to pay a visit to the Florida, Gulf County is an ideal destination spot! This location has easy access to the Gulf of Mexico, St. Joseph Bay, Indian Pass Lagoon, the Gulf County Canal, the Intracoastal Waterway, the Apalachicola Bay and river basin (a brackish mix of both) and the freshwater of the Dead Lakes and Chipola River! The prime season for Gulf County, FL is between Mid-August and Mid-March, making it a great spot to enjoy spring break! You’ll love watching all of the wildlife and adventure that feed off of the water.

Since the activities are nature based, you’ll never have the same experience twice! You’ll quickly fall in love with the locals in the small town, most of who truly do live off the land. This old mill town is a family friendly place, that places a large value on the importance on balancing enjoying the outdoors, and working hard.
Adventure Ideas in Gulf County, FL
It’s easy to find an adventure that suits you, by simply checking out the Gulf County concierge program & adventure guide. I picked out a few of my favorites when browsing through:
St Joseph Peninsula State Park – There are so many ways to experience wild life here! I’d love to spend the day with my family walking through the park nature hunting for wildlife!
Black Island – Renting a pontoon and driving around this island sounds like the perfect way to spend the day relaxing and taking in the sights.
Scuba Diving – This would be a must before leaving Gulf County! Scuba diving allows you to experience the underwater world in a brand new and enlightening way!

I grew up in Alabama, so the beaches of the Florida panhandle were a favorite travel destination for my family. The fine white sand along the Gulf Coast makes for some of the most beautiful and cleanest beaches in the world, but the area also has lots to offer family travelers beyond a day of sunbathing and sand castle building.

I’d love the Horseback Riding on the Beach!!! I have always swooned at picture of people doing it, and thought you can only get to do it in places like Puerto Rico! I’ve had my own pony and used to ride all the time. This would be so much fun!!! And I’d love for it to be me and my buddies in those pictures!
Would love to go fishing in St. Joseph Bay. We love to fish and don’t get to fish on/near the gulf or ocean too often. Would love to be able to “snap” up some snappers! :)
