Come fall in love with the Forgotten Coast's sugary white sand beaches, world-class fishing, and the laid-back atmosphere in quaint Mexico Beach. This small, family-friendly community, nestled between St. Joe Beach and Panama City Beach, offers gorgeous sunrises and sunsets filled with long, relaxing days on its beautiful, uncrowded beach.
Explore unique shops and treat yourself to a pampering session at White Sands Salon & Boutique, all within easy reach. Step onto the pristine shores of the Gulf of Mexico, mere steps away, where you can partake in snorkeling, kayaking, or simply basking in the sun on endless stretches of white sand.
For a change of scenery, nearby Port St. Joe beckons with additional shopping, art galleries, and a diverse dining scene. St. Joe Beach, welcoming pets and bonfires, offers a relaxed atmosphere perfect for sunset gatherings.
Fishing enthusiasts will find paradise in Mexico Beach, with charter trips readily available from the nearby marina. Cast your line into the Gulf waters and reel in the catch of the day, ensuring an unforgettable maritime adventure.
Don't miss out on dining at Killer Seafood, located just a mile away—a popular food truck boasting a spacious covered eating area. And for those craving fresh seafood to enjoy at home, The Shell Shack, conveniently situated next to the marina, offers the finest selection alongside delightful gifts and souvenirs.
