If you truly want to get away - get away from traffic, from people - Cape San Blas is the place to go.  This is where you go to truly disconnect from the hustle and bustle of your daily life.  Cape San Blas is a peninsula that extends into Gulf of Mexico between Port St. Joe and Apalachicola in the Florida Panhandle.  It offers about 20 miles of white, sandy beaches and just enough seclusion to feel like you're on a real vacation.
 

A major plus to visiting Cape San Blas is that it's beaches are pet friendly.  In addition to having pet-friendly beaches, many of the vacation rentals in Cape San Blas are also pet-friendly.  And, when you go out to eat, you can take your pets along.  Area restaurants also welcome pets, usually in the outside patios.

Those of you with pets know how hard it is to leave them behind when you go on vacation.  Not only can it be emotional, especially if you have little ones, but also expensive.  Leaving your pets with a veterinarian or in a pet kennel can add a substantial cost to your vacation. 

Instead of leaving them behind, plan a trip to Cape San Blas, and take your whole family, pets included.  Cape San Blas even has parks that are pet friendly and offer "pet stations" so you can clean up after your pets.
 

One way this little peninsula has maintained its untouched nature is to limit construction and commercialization.  So, one of your best options when vacationing here is a vacation home.  As I said, many vacation homes in the Cape are pet friendly - making Cape San Blas the ideal location for a family vacation.
