Port Saint Joe

Port St. Joe occupies a low coastal stretch on St. Joseph Bay in Florida’s Panhandle. Protected from much of the Gulf of Mexico’s surf by the St. Joseph Peninsula, the bay has long shaped the town’s links to boating, fishing and the water. Port St. Joe developed as a port in the 1830s and hosted Florida’s 1838 constitutional convention, an important step before statehood in 1845. Its compact downtown faces the bay, while the former Cape San Blas Lighthouse stands at George Core Park. Nearby, St. Joseph Peninsula State Park preserves dunes, pine woodland and Gulf beaches.
