Port St. Joe

    The dazzling blue waters and brilliant curving shoreline that outlines Port St. Joe often catches the eye of travelers on their journey along Highway 98. The scenic bay, with its crystal clear water attracts everyone. Best known for fishing, kayaking and its abundance of scallops and other succulent seafood, St Joe Bay is truly, unforgettable.

    Since 1998 when "the Mill" closed, folks in Port St. Joe have wondered what would happen to the piece of waterfront property where so many worked for so long.  As the vision becomes reality, that stretch of land will be part of a total transformation of the city of Port St. Joe.

      Port St. Joe will experience a metamorphosis from a historically rich, sleepy coastal community to a warm and inviting community of homes, offices and retail space - welcoming home visitors and property owners to a waterfront village with a familiar flair.  Overlooking the bay, the newly crafted Port St. Joe mixed-use community, plans to co-mingle residential, retail and government facilities surrounded by green space. No details have been overlooked including a 50-wet-slip and 300-dry-slip marina, an open-air plaza on the water - even a farmer's market is planned.

      Once a dozing mill town, Port St. Joe will soon provide homes and retail opportunities allowing residents to live in a community where a car might be an option or merely an occasional necessity. After all, the millions of baby boomers who will enter the market before 2014 are in search of a higher quality of life and seem to favor Florida, and Port St. Joe's new master plan has seemingly pulled out all the stops to ensure delivery of all they are seeking. "St. Joe" will soon be the 'crown jewel' of the Forgotten Coast.
