Port St. Joe at a glance
What makes Port St. Joe different: Once a paper-mill town until the St. Joe mill closed in the late 1990s, Port St. Joe has reinvented itself as a Forgotten Coast tourist and retiree destination anchored by St. Joseph Bay scalloping and nearby Cape San Blas, while still rebuilding from the catastrophic 20-foot storm surge of Category 5 Hurricane Michael in 2018.
