The winter guests come here to recall simpler times.  They come because Gulf County offers a more relaxes approach to life, a treasured retreat from the mad pace of the holidays, and the winter temperatures.  Here, you are no longer a stranger.  Your face quickly becomes familiar and the cashiers at the local store remembers you and your favorite items.

In Gulf County, the pace is slower so you can take in the timeless images of life along the water from the front porch swing of your winter home.  Views such as dolphins dancing to the shrimp and deep-sea fishing boats traveling St. Joseph Bay, you won’t find high-rise condos here to block the views of our waterways – just the tranquil appeal of a small town.

Just because the pace is slower it doesn’t mean that there is not an abundance to activities for the winter guests.  There is a special website designated just for the events in the winter months.  It is packed full of activities such as golf tournaments, a welcome party to include food, music and dancing – plus local information.  Guest can also find details about the Farmer’s Market, the Winter Speaker Series at the Library, or Bay Day at the Buffer Preserve by visiting the website at http://www.gcflwinterfun.com
