Just because the summer is coming to an end doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be planning for one final hurrah. In truth, there are so many things worth tackling before autumn hits—for instance, anyone up for a charming boat canal ride? If you’re looking for something a little more vacation-esque, like a nice weekend away in an unexplored area of Florida, then we have the perfect small town to check out.
Port St. Joe, Florida has been nicknamed the "small town with a big heart," which you will easily see why when you spend a weekend there.
Picture spending the day on the soft-white dune beaches, snorkeling in crystal clear water, fishing along the ocean’s edge, and grabbing fresh seafood at the local fish shop.
Besides enjoying the impeccable scenery of the surrounding area, you can take a drive along the St. Joseph Peninsula, windows down, enjoying the swirling scent of the ocean breeze.
