Thread: remote get away

Fort Morgan peninsula is plenty remote for most folks, but finding a place on the water is not easy.
But this stretch of shore on the backside fits the bill and has some good bay fishing within easy paddle.

Appalachicola, Port St. Joe, & Mexico Beach are all good choices, Mexico Beach has the best beach and it is also the best place to eat. Appalachicola doesn't have much of a beach but it is a good place to eat. Port St. Joe is the largest town of the three. Mexico Beach is my choice but it doesn't have much of a shopping area. All have good fishing.

Mexico Beach would be my choice. Fishing is good but women generally don't like it. My wife and daughter were bored to death. I loved it.

Something on St. Joseph Peninsula would be good for fishing (the State Park even has a few cabins for rent but availability can be tough) but it is the picture of remote. Between Port St. Joe and Appilachicola, it is 30 miles to either one for a grocery store or restaurant so you bring EVERYTHING that you will need when you go. The beach there has won Beach of the Year a couple of times and the bayside is good for fishing too. Stargazing is the only nighttime activity for non-fishing folks.

Mexico Beach or the state park between Port St Joe and Appalachicola. It is remote. I was thru there in late may and even saw a dead black bear on the shoulder of the road. The state park cabins are heavily booked but good fishing there.
