Go from paddle to saddle — Cape San Blas

Paddling in Cape San Blas at T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park offers a peaceful escape with calm, clear bay waters perfect for spotting dolphins, sea turtles, and a variety of coastal birds. Popular launch points include Eagle Harbor and Bayview, providing both easy access and opportunities to explore further into the park’s remote Wilderness Preserve or brave the Gulf side’s more challenging surf. Inside the park, you can rent kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, and snorkel gear from Scallop Cove Too at Eagle Harbor — operating daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nearby outfitters such as Happy Ours Kayak & Bike Outpost and San Flea Rentals also provide rentals and guided eco-tours.

Horseback riding on the beach at Cape San Blas offers a memorable experience for everyone! Several outfitters—including Broke‑A‑Toe, Rockin’ M Ranch, Two‑Bit Stable, and Sand N Spur—run guided, beginner‑friendly, one‑hour rides at a leisurely walk along the Gulf shoreline. Tours typically depart from Salinas Park, just past C‑30, and are available year‑round. Rides cater to all ages, often include helmet fitting and basic instruction, and can be customized for families, couples, proposals, or photo sessions. It is the perfect opportunity to capture sunset moments. Advanced booking is recommended as many providers require text or call reservations, and peak season seats fill quickly. Whether you’re after a peaceful beach amble or a picturesque sunset ride, Cape San Blas has a horseback adventure to suit your style.
