In 3 miles, you'll find Point South Marina, which serves as a central hub for boaters looking to access the Gulf of America and the Intracoastal Waterway. The marina offers exceptional service and a variety of amenities. Boat slips are available for rent on a nightly, weekly, or annual basis. If you prefer not to bring your own boat, you can take advantage of fishing charters and pontoon rentals. As a member of the Freedom Boat Club, simply give them a call, and the friendly staff will ensure your boat is fueled and ready for you to embark on your day's adventure. Don't forget to visit their outfitter shop for ice, cold drinks, and sunscreen. They also carry popular brands like Yeti and Toadfish.
The Cape San Blas Lighthouse, located in George Core Park, home to many local festivals, is only three miles away. Built over 130 years ago to protect the shores of Cape San Blas, the lighthouse has taken up new residence in the City of Port St. Joe. The Keeper’s Quarters are also housed on-site and include a gift shop. Special events take place from time to time, such as full-moon lighthouse climbs and the annual Easter egg hunt. It’s a great place for picnics and exploring.
Keeper’s Bistro and Haughty Heron are two cornerstones of Port St. Joe’s vibrant bayside dining and nightlife scene, located 3 miles away. Keeper’s Bistro is a bright and welcoming coastal restaurant where you can sample fresh Gulf-to-table cuisine like oysters shucked to order, house‑made pimento cheese, and chef‑driven daily specials, all served alongside unique cocktails and a thoughtfully curated wine list in a relaxed, plant-filled setting with sunset views. Haughty Heron offers a lively full-service bar and package liquor store, complete with indoor seating and an outdoor beer garden overlooking St. Joseph Bay. With frequent live music, seven big-screen TVs, imported beers, fine wines, signature cocktails, and even a walk-in humidor for cigar enthusiasts, it’s the perfect spot to unwind, whether you’re cheering on your favorite team or catching a bay‑side sunset.
