St. Joseph Bay State Buffer Preserve Visitor Center - Port St Joe (FL)

4 /5 Eric Vowell: Its kind of a cool little off the highway roadside park. There are a few units there, as well as an information station and an observation platform that are a few stories high. Kind of cool views of the Bay from the observation deck. The facilities there are clean. The only issue that I had with the park is we couldnt find staff there that could answer some questions that we had. But all in all, a nice little brief respite from the drive along the coast. Offered up some nice views of the bay. We will definitely visit again

5 /5 Cherie Hicks: I attended a wonderful workshop during which multiple SeaGrant and extension agents spoke on the preserve and the habitats it seeks to protect, including the Bay and the woodlands. Fascinating. Learned so much and I will be going back to hike the trails and further explore the waters. Beautiful new facility.

5 /5 Melissa Jack: We came here for Bay Day (Feb 25) and were extremely welcomed! Small little education on types of fish, the bay, and maps and such. Viewing platform, with a great view. & small walk. On our walk we were able to see thousand of crabs, it was super unique!

5 /5 Brenda Christensen: Loved it.. Beautiful setting. We went up the observation tower. I was able to get some pretty photos. There were crabs on the beach. There was a building there. Because time was limited I was not able to see what the buildingd were about

5 /5 Ben Lindstrom: What an amazing place! Im glad that areas like this are protected for everyone to enjoy, wildlife and plants included. We kayaked around Pig Island and saw all sorts of cool marine life - sponges, crabs, hermit crabs, horseshoe crabs, cranes, etc. My dad even saw some rays when he went deeper into the bay later in the week. Speaking of the water depth, be careful on the south side of the island at low tide. Youll want to stay far out to avoid having to get out and walk like I did.
