1. Cape San Blas Lighthouse-Visit the Southern-most tip of the Florida Panhandle and you’ll find this popular lighthouse. It’s actually the fourth lighthouse to mark the coast of Cape San Blas. Open Wednesday through Saturday.
2. Scalloping in St. Joseph’s Bay-Try out your best hunter-gatherer skills! From July 1- September 10, give scalloping a try by wading into the calm, shallow waters of St. Joseph’s Bay. Frank Pate Park in Port St. Joe is a great place to begin your hunt for these sweet and succulent treats. Remember that you must have a fishing license (available at bait and tackle shops), and not to harvest more than two gallons unshucked per person.
3. Constitution Convention Museum State Park- This 13-acre park marks the spot where Florida’s first State Constitution Convention was held. The document was first drafted in Port St. Joe in 1838, and you are invited to share in the history! Admission is $1 per person.
4. Tupelo Honey in Wewahitchka-This charming town may look familiar, as it was the setting for “Ulee’s Gold.” Learn about the unique method used to make this premium honey, which involves bee boxes being placed in the swamps of the Apalachicola River.
5. St. Joseph’s Peninsula State Park- As one of Florida’s most diverse and breath-taking state parks, St. Joseph’s Peninsula has something for everyone. Camp sites are perfect for a family vacation, where you can explore nature trails, splash in the Gulf of Mexico, or try to catch a glimpse of one of the 240 species of birds that call the park their home. Admission is $4 per vehicle.
