Cape San Blas is southeast from Panama City on the hump of the panhandle. It is a remote peninsula that is utterly peaceful and gorgeous. We stayed at St. Joseph’s Peninsula State Park, where the 7 mile stretch of beach and and maritime forest abounded with wildlife. If you want peace and quiet and a real nature infusion, this is a highly recommended spot! We did a lot of nature walks, beach exploration, and inner reflection. Cape San Blas was the ideal “womb space” we needed to detox and rest from our rapid move from Asheville and to coalesce as a family in our new life. We wound up staying there for 3 months.
