Where Is Port St. Joe, Florida?

Port St. Joe is not on the Florida Panhandle. It sits on the Forgotten Coast in Gulf County, along the northwestern shore of Apalachicola Bay in north-central coastal Florida.

The "Forgotten Coast" refers to a quiet, less-developed stretch spanning Franklin, Gulf, Liberty, and Wakulla counties—east of the more touristed Panama City Beach/Destin corridor. Port St. Joe is roughly 100 miles southwest of Tallahassee and 50 miles southeast of Panama City.

Key landmarks: St. Joseph Peninsula State Park (beaches, dunes), the historic Cape San Blas lighthouse, and a working waterfront with shrimp boats and charter fishing.
