The hook of land jutting into the Gulf at Florida's Forgotten Coast — Salinas Park sits at the base of Cape San Blas with both gulfside and bayside access. Long stretches of empty white sand, pet-friendly (a Gulf County point of pride), and the calm bay side for kayaking. The Cape itself is a dark-sky stargazing destination.
