Leave Winter Behind on Florida's Forgotten Coast

You’ve already made the wise decision to leave the frozen tundra behind for Florida’s warm embrace. But what if you could skip the crowded beaches, endless traffic, and packed resorts, too?

Welcome to St. James Bay Golf & Pickleball Resort, your home base on Florida’s Forgotten Coast.

Here, winter looks a whole lot different: quiet sandy beaches, championship golf, pickleball with friends, poolside afternoons, fresh seafood, and plenty of room to actually relax without having to scramble for the last lounge chair or squeeze through crowds to enjoy the view.

There’s Florida, and then there’s the Forgotten Coast.

Tucked along Florida’s Panhandle, the Forgotten Coast is old Florida at its best: quiet beaches, charming coastal towns, local restaurants, boutique shops, state parks, and plenty of room to slow down and enjoy the season.

Explore Apalachicola, Carrabelle, St. George Island, Alligator Point, and Eastpoint, then come back to St. James Bay, where you can make yourself at home for a week, a month, or the entire winter.

Whether you're escaping for a week or settling in for the season, St. James Bay has accommodations designed for longer stays.

For extended winter stays, settle into a spacious two- and three-bedroom condo with full kitchens, living and dining areas, laundry rooms, private balconies, and scenic views.
