The Breathtaking Beaches

Why do most residents choose the Forgotten Coast? Because of the pristine, untarnished, and little-visited beaches—literally hundreds of miles of it! Unlike many of Florida’s crowded, bustling, and touristy beach spots, these are quite quiet, with gentle, placid waves and miles of open white-sand beaches. The area is perfect for swimming, fishing, paddling, strolling, or simply sitting back and enjoying the views.

The Beautiful Outdoor Areas

Away from the beach, the Forgotten Coast has plenty of fun outdoor pursuits, thanks to its large number of wildlife and nature preserves and national forest. There’s tons of hiking, plenty of biking, and and endless amount of boating, paddling, and fishing to enjoy.

There are also lots of charming small towns to explore, like bustling Apalachicola with its boutiques and galleries, Eastpoint with its super-fresh seafood, or carrabelle with its championship golf.

All the Waterfront Homes

Whether you want to be directly on the white-sand shores of your own private stretch of beachfront or you’re dreaming of a home with deepwater dock access or even if you’d just enjoy a backyard pond for some fishing, the Gulf Coast has tons of options. There are hundreds of miles of rivers, creeks, and coastlines, many of which lead to the Gulf. Waterfront homes are a-plenty, and many of them are quite affordable, though there are numerous luxury options as well. All you have to do is start searching!
