Something for everyone to enjoy: swim in the warm turquoise waters of the Gulf or Mexico, collect sea shells (excellent shelling at Crooked Island, less than 1.7 miles west on HWY 98!), take a boat ride (a boat ramp is less than a tenth of a mile away from Set Sail 5), fish for the big one, go diving, kayaking, surfing, take in an eco-tour. Relax on the beautiful sugar white sands only a few steps away from Set Sail at 5 with a cool drink, a good book and an umbrella.
Mexico Beach is a nature lover’s paradise. Many bird species can be found in Mexico Beach. Look around and you'll probably see osprey, bald eagles, pelicans, herons and egrets. At least five species of sea turtles can be found in our area. Loggerhead turtle hatchlings come out in the late summer. Try to spot dolphins as they dive through the waves all year long. Sea turtles, urchins, starfish, crabs, and sand dollars are abundant here as well.
If you are looking for that perfect souvenir, a unique piece of artwork to remind you of your fantastic vacation in Mexico Beach, come explore the eclectic collection of locally owned shops and boutiques of Mexico Beach and nearby Port St. Joe and Apalachicola. Also, St. Joseph Bay Golf Club, just to the east of Port St. Joe, offers 18 holes of challenging play.
