It was a chilly, extremely windy week which made the waves the largest we've ever seen here. The beaches are probably the most pristeen you'll find in the Eastern United States. The name of the peninsula that Cape San Blas is on is St. Joseph's Peninsula. At the end of the peninsula is St. Joseph's State Park. No souvenir shops, hot dog stands, carnival rides, high-rise hotels here; just untouched sand dunes and beach.
These photos of the large sand dunes and expansive beach were taken at the state park. The beach right outside our cottage was gorgeous and this one was spectacular so we used both of them. As you can see, there was hardly anyone there when we went. I'm sure the summer months are quite crowded. We enjoy the April weather and know that it would be too hot for us in the summer so Spring Break is the time we like to go.
Alexis had her own room w/bunk beds and read lots of books. Of course she loved me taking this photo of her reading. :)
Kevin and Alexis enjoyed finding beautiful shells and I took some long walks on the beach. The first morning I watched dolphins feeding close to shore and one actually jumped all the way out of the water. I had never seen that before and it was really thrilling. That was the only time I saw dolphins; the water was just too rough after that.
This was what it looked like as we walked out of our cottage to the boardwalk that went to the beach. Sometimes it looked like you were walking off the edge of the earth.

Our cottage, below, was called 'On the Beach' and we loved it! Very cozy and cute. Living such a simple life for a week was wonderful; eat, sleep, read, walk on the beach, sunbathe, look for shells, boogie board.....aaaaaahhhhhhh......
