Joe Windmark, June 2006 I have vacationed on St. George Island for the past 10 years and Mexico Beach twice and I can honestly say Cape San Blas tops them all.

Guest Comment: Tom Gibbs, August 2008: "We "shelled" each morning, what wonderful shells...we saw something new every day. My father is from Pensacola so I was familiar with the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters...but is always amazing to see how pretty it is when you've been away from it. But where can you find such a beautiful location and now crowds?!? We were so impressed with the solitude and quiet area -- no high-rises, Walmarts, tourist traps, etc." Kim Kaiser, October 2009: "Our time at the Cape was FABULOUS! We had SUCH a great time! We relaxed, played and enjoyed the area! The boys (dogs) were so funny in the Gulf! They were riding the waves before we left!! Thanks for sharing your home with us."
