Explore Cape San Blas

Discover a retreat like no other…

My family first found our way to Cape San Blas in 2005, looking for an escape from the busier Florida holiday hubs. A place to reconnect with nature and family, to truly enjoy the splendor of the Gulf Coast.

Today, that quiet tranquility of Florida’s Forgotten Coast still remains, waiting for you to experience its unforgettable sunsets and endless white-sand beaches.

Uncover a storied history

The European explorers who first walked along this unspoiled coast likely experience the healing power of the sand and sea. They chose to name the Cape after Saint Blaise of Sebastea, a Turkish medical doctor and bishop who was nicknamed “the physician of souls.”

Saint Blaise was globally revered for his “miracles of healing” and remains recognized by countries all over the world to this day. He championed rest from work and the healing properties of water. A memory of Saint Blaise’s name is still whispered in the modern day iteration of the Cape, now dubbed Cape San Blas.
