Gulf County is split in more ways than one. It sits in two time zones: the south, including Port St. Joe, is on Eastern time, while the north, including Wewahitchka, is on Central time, with the Intracoastal Waterway as the dividing line. It also has two very different land markets, coastal lots on St. Joseph Bay and the St. Joseph Peninsula, and inland river and timber land around the Dead Lakes. About a quarter of the county’s area is water.

What Should You Know About the Gulf County Land Market?

Hurricane Michael

Michael made landfall near Mexico Beach in neighboring Bay County on October 10, 2018. In Gulf County, more than 2,000 structures were damaged, over 1,200 had major damage and 985 were destroyed. Port St. Joe was extensively damaged. On the peninsula, the storm heavily damaged vacation rentals and roads, and a new inlet opened where the road washed out inside St. Joseph Peninsula State Park.

The Cape and the Peninsula

Cape San Blas is part of a peninsula, with the St. Joseph Peninsula extending north from its western end. Its south point has seen the most extreme erosion, the area where the historic lighthouses once stood. For buyers, flood zone, dune condition and distance from the eroding shoreline are central questions, and we check them before making an offer.

Inland Gulf County

North of the Intracoastal Waterway, Gulf County is river country on Central time. Wewahitchka lies at the junction of State Roads 71 and 22, west of the Chipola River, a tributary of the Apalachicola, with the Dead Lakes to the northeast. The town calls itself the “Home of Dead Lakes & Tupelo Honey” and has some of Florida’s largest beekeeping operations. On inland parcels near the lakes and rivers, wetlands and floodplain can limit the usable area.
