We've been trying to discover more of Florida's greatness since moving here. We've unlocked some truly unique experiences so far. For the past few months, I've been yearning to have a chance to visit Gulf County. With gorgeous beaches and so much to do, it's really high on my vacation wish list. To satiate my wanderlust, I'm sharing 5 unique things to do in Gulf County Florida.
Before moving, I hadn't heard about the hidden beauty and fun that could be explored there. I'd love to take my husband, son and parents for a visit to Golf County. It seems like a great place for the family to start new traditions and to have one of a kind experiences. Let's dive in to see all the natural beauty that awaits us.
5 Unique Things to do in Gulf County Florida
Spend a Day on Cape San Blas
Cape San Blas is a 17 mile long barrier peninsula. The combination of breathtaking white sand beaches and green to blue calm waters, I'm hooked. I need to get my toes in that sand!
Watch a Dolphin Parade
Have you ever seen a pod of dolphin playing? Dolphin have been spotted early in the morning right from the beach. There is just something about Dolphin spotting that tugs on my heart strings. They might be one of the only reasons I'd ever get out of bed extra early.
Watch a Sunrise & Sunset
Go On a Turtle Treasure Hunt
Gulf County is a huge place to spot turtles. They're actually the highest density-nesting beach in North Florida. Sea Turtles arrive on Gulf County beaches each year to lay their eggs. Each day you're invited to join volunteers as they find and track the turtles based on signs of "crawls" to find new nests to protect. During the end of summer and later in the season you might even find signs of turtle's hatching! Very cool!

Oh I could definitely go for a vacation in Gulf County! I'd love to see aDolphin Parade
It's definitely a different type of parade than what I'm used to seeing! 😉
I've never been to that part of Florida, looks beautiful. I'd especially love to see the dolphin parade, that looks amazing.
It truly IS beautiful! The dolphin parade is so unique. I bet none of your friends can say they saw one of those on their vacations...unless they go to Gulf County too. 😉
We have never been to the Gulf side, but it sounds amazing. I would love to travel there next year!
Let me know what you think if you get a chance to go. I bet you'll have a great time! 🙂
I would definitely be interested to watch the dolphins. I've never been to Florida. I would love to go there someday.
If you get the chance to visit, trust me, come down and have some fun! I think you would really have a great vacation here. 😉
The sand is so white that I almost thought it was snow! I love the beach.
I love super soft white sand. The beach is just awesome! It's one of the most relaxing places to be.
Wow! I had no idea there were so many things to do in Gulf County! I have an affinity for turtles, so the treasure hunt sounds fun.
I couldn't agree more! The turtles are so cute and something you don't get to see just anywhere. That would be a ton of fun for sure
So many col things to do! I have always wanted to see something like the dolphin parade.
There is definitely a lot to keep you busy....or not, depending on what kind of vacation you are looking for. The dolphin parade is just too cool though!
These photos look amazing! I love to visit Florida and see all the warm tropical beaches. The sea turtles are always amazing to me.
The sea turtles are really cute! It's something unique to do while on vacation that you might not get to do somewhere else.
Such beautiful pictures. I'd love to get my toes in the sand and watch some dolphins!
I was just thinking how awesome some sand between my toes would be! Once you look at those pictures, you just want to be there to experience it in person. 🙂
I would LOVE to watch the dolphins! It sounds like a really great place to visit.
Dolphins are so much fun to see, especially in groups. They seem so much more playful. I bet it would be fun for sure!
I recently learned there are many things to do in Gulf County and actually began planning a vacation to visit there. I think it would be hard not to get caught up in all the beauty and relaxation though- it might be hard to go adventure!
That's great! You'll have to let me know how the trip goes and what you did. Nothing wrong with a little relaxation though. Either way, it's a win!
I'd look for birds, dolphins and sunsets.
I think that sounds pretty amazing 😉
