About the neighborhood
Located in the quiet, gated community of Barrier Dunes, this neighborhood offers a rare "Old Florida" experience on the north end of the St. Joseph Peninsula. Known for its uncrowded, sugar-white sand beaches and towering dunes, this is a place where nature takes center stage.
Community Amenities
The neighborhood is designed for an active yet laid-back lifestyle. As a guest, you’ll have access to:
Two Swimming Pools: Including one beachfront pool where you can watch the waves while you swim.
Tennis & Pickleball: Lighted courts are available for a morning match or evening play.
Freshwater Fishing: Three peaceful ponds are scattered throughout the community (great for feeding the local turtles!).
Pet-Friendly Living: The area is famous for its welcoming attitude toward dogs, featuring multiple pet stations and wide, walkable boardwalks.
The Best of Cape San Blas
You are perfectly positioned at the "tip of the Cape," just steps from the entrance of St. Joseph Peninsula State Park. This 2,500-acre wilderness preserve is consistently ranked among the top beaches in the U.S. and is a haven for:
Outdoor Adventure: Explore miles of hiking and biking trails, or launch a kayak into the calm, shallow waters of St. Joseph Bay for world-class scalloping and snorkeling.
Stunning Sunsets: Because the beaches face west, every evening offers a front-row seat to spectacular Gulf sunsets.
Star Gazing: With no high-rises or bright city lights, the night sky here is incredibly clear—perfect for relaxing on the deck under the stars.
Local Flavors
While the neighborhood feels secluded, you’re only a short drive or bike ride away from local favorites like Coneheads for fresh oysters and ice cream, or the Trading Post for your morning coffee and supplies. For a change of pace, the historic charm of downtown Port St. Joe is just 15-20 minutes away, offering boutique shopping and waterfront dining.

Getting around
Getting around Cape San Blas is easy and relaxed, much like the atmosphere itself. Most visitors rely on a personal vehicle since the area is spread out and there’s no public transportation, but traffic is typically light and parking is readily available at beach access points, state parks, and rental homes. Bicycles and golf carts are also popular for short trips along the scenic coastal road, especially for reaching nearby beaches and local seafood spots. Located along Florida’s Gulf Coast in Florida, the peninsula’s simple road layout makes navigation straightforward—just follow Cape San Blas Road from the mainland and enjoy the views along the way.
