After 25+ years of calling Cape San Blas our second home and welcoming guests to Two Palms Villa, we've witnessed countless visitors discover what makes this unspoiled peninsula so extraordinary. Cape San Blas offers something increasingly rare in Florida – a genuine escape from overdevelopment and tourist crowds and your very own personal Concierge at your service!
First-time visitors often ask what sets Cape San Blas apart from other Florida beach destinations. The answer lies in what you won't find here – no high-rise condos blocking the horizon, no traffic jams, no noisy beach clubs. Instead, you'll discover:
Pristine Beaches: Consistently ranked among America's best, our sugar-white sand beaches stretch for 17 miles
Pet-Friendly Shores: One of the few Florida beaches where your four-legged family members are welcome
St. Joseph Peninsula State Park: Over 1,900 aPristine, Uncrowded Beaches
Cape San Blas features 17 miles of sugar-white sand beaches that consistently rank among America's finest. The gentle waves of the Gulf of Mexico create ideal swimming conditions, while the expansive shoreline provides space to find solitude that's increasingly difficult to find elsewhere in Florida.
Two Palms Villa sits just steps from this pristine coastline. Guests wake to the sound of waves and step directly onto sand unmarred by high-rise developments or crowded beach clubs.
Pet-Friendly Paradise
Cape San Blas welcomes four-legged family members year-round, making it one of Florida's most accommodating beach destinations for pet owners. The wide, open beaches provide ample space for dogs to explore while maintaining the area's peaceful atmosphere.
The joy of watching dogs experience the Gulf waters for the first time matches the delight of their owners who finally found a beach destination where the entire family can vacation together.
St. Joseph Peninsula State Park
This 1,900-acre protected wilderness area offers hiking trails, bird watching, and some of the Southeast's most diverse ecosystems. Home to over 240 bird species, the park attracts both casual nature enthusiasts and serious birders seeking rare migrants.
The park's lighthouse, trails, and camping areas complement beach relaxation perfectly. Whether photographing wildlife or simply appreciating unspoiled wilderness, visitors find experiences unavailable elsewhere along the Gulf Coast.
Exceptional Stargazing
Minimal light pollution reveals night skies that most people never see. The Milky Way stretches across the horizon, shooting stars appear regularly, and the moon creates a silver pathway across the Gulf waters.
Two Palms Villa guests often spend evenings on the beach, discovering celestial displays that remind them how rarely they truly see the night sky. It's a humbling experience that provides perspective on daily stresses.
Fresh Gulf Seafood
Cape San Blas sits in the heart of one of the Gulf Coast's most productive fishing areas. Local establishments serve the day's catch – sweet Apalachicola oysters, fresh grouper, red snapper, and Gulf shrimp. The focus remains on authentic, locally-sourced ingredients rather than tourist fare.
Guests can dine at waterfront restaurants or purchase directly from returning fishing boats, then prepare their catch in Two Palms Villa's fully equipped kitchen. This connection to the area's maritime heritage enhances the coastal experience.
Natural Pace of Life
Cape San Blas encourages visitors to disconnect from hyperconnected routines and reconnect with what matters. The slower rhythm, combined with natural beauty, creates an environment where stress dissipates and families rediscover uninterrupted time together.
Families often arrive at Two Palms Villa with packed itineraries, only to find contentment in simple beach days – building sandcastles, collecting shells, and enjoying each other's company without digital distractions.
Year-Round Appeal
Each season brings distinct character to Cape San Blas. Spring offers wildflowers and ideal temperatures for exploration. Summer provides warm Gulf waters and predictable afternoon thunderstorms. Fall features the year's warmest water temperatures and spectacular sunsets. Winter delivers solitude, excellent shelling, and peaceful Gulf rhythms without crowds.
Two Palms Villa guests who return across multiple seasons discover new aspects of the area's natural beauty with each visit.
Cape San Blas represents more than a beach destination – it's where time slows down, worries fade, and the natural world provides perspective on life's simple pleasures. Whether seeking adventure in St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, romance in Gulf sunsets, or simply the satisfaction of warm sand between your toes, Cape San Blas delivers experiences that endure long after departure.
At Two Palms Villa, we've witnessed thousands of these moments over the years. From anniversary celebrations to family traditions, from solo retreats to friend reunions, Cape San Blas provides exactly what visitors need.
