Are you a beach lover? The Gulf Coast of Florida runs the entire west side of Florida. Most of the state sits on a peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean, and Straits of Florida. Extending north into a panhandle shape along the northern Gulf of Mexico, the gulf coast covers two time zones. In other words--Florida offers an abundance of beach!

While hundreds of miles of beautiful beaches around the country bring their own flavor and charming beauty, the intriguing Gulf Coast of Florida stands out.

Horseshoe Beach

Horseshoe Beach is a serene, friendly fishing village perfect for a relaxed vacation. Historically, the settlement first came into the area in the early 1800s. Then, in 1935, C.C. Douglas and Burton Butler paid $324 for the land. Reason for the change of ownership was from undue pressure on residents to relocate. Without delay, the Douglas/Butler union ensured all residents of an equal chance to own their property.

Today, Horseshoe is home to many recreational facilities. These include full service marina, eateries, the waterfront park, churches, and an ice cream shop. Moreover, the town features luxury vacation rentals spacious enough to accommodate up to six guests. Though it is a bit remote, visitors will appreciate the peace and serenity here. Fishing, kayaking, boating, swimming and several water sports–are some of the many reasons why Horseshoe Beach is a must visit.
