The Forgotten Coast of Florida is a rare and special place that stretches from Mexico Beach east through Gulf and Franklin Counties and beyond. Dotting the coastline, you'll find the towns of Port St. Joe, Apalachicola and Eastpoint as well as Cape San Blas, St. George Island and Windmark Beach. This area is steeped in Old Florida charm married with modern conveniences. Here, you won't find the high-rise hotels, tourist trap shopping or billboards blocking your view. Instead, you'll see a wide range of homes including coastal cottages, single family homes, quaint townhouses and condos, and historic homes surrounded by mature trees that reminisce of days past. The beachfront homes along Florida's Forgotten Coast are among the most sought-after properties for sale anywhere. Unparalleled, unobstructed views of the white sand beaches kissed by the blue-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico show us why.
