About Cape San Blas
Dog Friendly Beaches
It was easy to choose Cape San Blas as one of the Best Dog Friendly Beaches in the United States. This cape has 20 miles of beautiful beaches on Florida’s gulf coast which is located 35 miles east of Panama City and just outside the town of Port. St. Joe. In 2002, the state park at the end of the cape was one selected as the best beach in America by Dr. Beach. One resident of the area, has this to say about the area, Cape “San Blas and Indian Pass Beach are "definitely dog friendly" and even though Gulf County says "dogs on beach must be leashed" it is definitely not enforced. "However, it is common beach courtesy here to leash your dog when you see another dog or persons coming, and unleash after passing, assuming your dog is under complete control." During the off season, you can sometimes walk a mile or two on the beach without seeing another person or dog.
