Come & escape to the beauty of Cape San Blas & Barrier Dunes. Cape San Blas is located 50 miles SE of Panama City between Port St. Joe & Apalachicola, just E of Mexico Beach & W of St. George Island!
Cape San Blas, FL is 20 miles long and a mile wide at it's widest point! St. Joseph Bay is on one side and the Gulf of Mexico is on the other. Ten of the 20 miles consists of St. Joseph Peninsula State Park and there are no high rise condos. This allows for an uncrowded and unspoiled beach--lot's of room for you and your dog to enjoy! Your dog is welcome on the beach with NO TIME RESTRICTIONS!
Barrier Dunes is a secure, gated community with 2 fantastic pools. One is located directly on the dunes with a beautiful view of the ocean and a great clubhouse. Barrier Dunes also has tennis courts, fishing ponds, boardwalks throughout and several pet stations!
St. Joseph Peninsula State Park is located right next door to Barrier Dunes and offers excellent access to the bay as well as 7 miles of undeveloped, unpaved pristine wilderness area, bay access and beach. Enjoy rare views of sea birds & other wildlife. We took a boat out in the bay and saw dolphin dancing around the boat, schools of stingray, starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars, fish and crab! The clear water bay is one of the cleanest in Florida & provides excellent snorkeling, boating, fishing, crabbing & scalloping.
THE CAPE ESCAPE I: 2BR/2BA. You will find an oversized King master suite w/dedicated balcony, dressing area w/double sinks, walk-in closet, bathroom w/separate shower & an over-sized bath on the upper floor. The lower floor has a fully-equipped kitchen overlooking the dining area & family room, a Queen bedroom, & a full bathroom. The family room includes a cable TV, & a sleeper sofa.
THE CAPE ESCAPE II: 2BR/2.5BA. 100 steps from The Cape Escape & on the lake! On the upper level is a King & Queen bedroom, both with private bathrooms and porches. They both have Cable TV & one has a VCR & the other a DVD! 2 of the 3 decks overlook a large freshwater fishing lake & the condo is 200 steps to the beach or the gulf front pool! Both are supplied by the owner with GREAT amenities! Please click on the link to our web site for pictures and more information about both units, the area, activities and MUCH more!
Come & enjoy the beach that was voted #1 in the USA by Dr. Beach in 2002! See our web site for detailed information and calendars for both units, restaurants, golf, things to do and pictures: http://www.TheCapeEscape.com

Things We Love to Do When We Visit the Cape!
Fishing - From the 3 fresh water fishing ponds/lakes in Barrier Dunes, the surf, the bay or taking out a charter boat!
Crabbing - We eat 2-3 meals from the crabs we catch while we are there. See our web site for instructions!
Scalloping - Scallop season is July 1 to Sept. 10. You can scallop right out in the bay and have access from St. Joseph Peninsula State Park just outside of the Gates to Barrier Dunes!
Boating - Take a pontoon boat out in the bay and spend the day snorkeling, fishing, watching the dolphins, crabs, stingrays, horse shoe crabs and other critters. You can also take out a kayak or canoe, which you can rent right on the Cape (Scallop Cove).
Horsebacking Riding ON THE BEACH: It's an awesome thing to do the kids and romatic at sunset with just the spouse! Yes! They meet you on the Cape and you can ride in the surf!
Golfing - See our web site for a list of area golf courses.
Historic Apalachicola - Just 25 minutes. Has lots of great shops and wonderful seafood!
Taking the Dogs on the Beach - Our labs love the Cape too! Pets are welcome on the Beach 24/7!
There are many things that we have yet to do on future trips. You can read about these activities and the many we haven't tried on our website!
