Gulf County, Florida is one of those places that takes your breath away with every glance and step you take. Its 244 miles of coastline are filled to bursting with beautiful beaches, fantastic flora and fauna, and the type of closeness to nature that’s become harder and harder to find these days.

Gulf County Florida is a place to get away from all the hustle and bustle of modern life and get closer to everything that’s beautiful about the great state of Florida. With activities based in nature, you know that your experiences will never be the same twice. We can’t wait to hit the water and explore the beaches, paddleboarding, and fishing.

Gulf County – A Region Worth the Trip

Whether you live nearby or hundreds of miles away, Gulf County is an area of the States that is well worth the trip. It is home to all kinds of hiking trails, bird watching areas, sea life watching areas, both salt, fresh, and brackish bodies of water, each with their own unique wildlife and plant life. It’s a magical place, and that magic isn’t over! Check out the Gulf County Adventure Guide.

Although it’s already into August, there’s still time to enjoy everything the area has to offer. “Prime season” in Gulf County hasn’t even come yet! September through May is the ideal time to hit this gorgeous area of Florida. From the waters of the Gulf, St. Joseph Bay, Indian Pass Lagoon, and more to the water sports that go with all of that H20 to the hiking and more, there is something for everyone in the area.

Just a few of the Great Gulf County Activities

  • Fishing
  • Boating
  • Kayaking
  • Swimming
  • Hiking
  • Bird Watching
  • Manatee Watching
  • Snorkeling
  • Diving
  • Beach Bumming (of course)

There are so many more things to do that this, but rather than list them all here, I want you to visit the Gulf County Adventure Guide and really sink your teeth into all the amazing activities and locations in the area. And the best part of everything you’ll find is that it’s all located no more than 15 minutes away from any point in the area!

A Gulf County Experience is a Unique Experience Every Time

No matter how many times you visit the area, a Gulf County experience is always unique. Because everything is so nature-centric even the same trip to the same spot to look for the same wildlife will be a different experience than the last time. It’s an adventure every time, and a great time for couples, families, or just the lone wandering traveler.

Love Florida? We love visiting Sanibel and the Island Cow as well as Pinchers in Cape Coral. Delicious meals every time!

    The horseback riding on the beach would be wonderful because we’ve never done something like that.

      Yes! I agree it would be awesome. Love the idea of horseback riding on the beach. Seems like something out of a movie!

    We would love to go to the Port St. Joe Marina and would love to take a sunset cruise or go snorkeling through one of the guided tours. It would be a great adventure and lots of fun.

    The Bay at St Joseph Peninsula State Park looks like a great place to visit: it has camping, fishing, you can picnic, there is something for everyone to enjoy there.

    I’m going to Florida for Spring Break next year so I loved reading the Adventure Guide!! The Adventure off the Beaten Path sounds so like me!! I love the fact that there’s a lake and that you can see all of the wildlife!

    We have different interests in our family, my boys like one thing my girls like another, but one thing we all like is enjoying delicious Food, so our adventure would have to include Taste GCFL experience and Honey Tasting for sure. Thanks for the chance to win!

      Tough when everyone wants to do something different! But yes, focusing on food is a good choice.

    I’d really love to explore Joseph Bay. I’ve never been kayak fishing so I think that would be really cool. I love the idea of pedaling instead of paddling :)

    I went to Gulf County last year with my friends and had an amazing time. We didn’t get to do any of the things on the Adventure Guide but the next time I go, I will definitely be trying the “Adventure Off the Beaten Path.”
