safe harborHappy employees today want more than a paycheck. The bottom line is being increasingly balanced with the benefi ts of a community where families thrive. Sure Gulf County, Florida is a little off the beaten path, but that’s the best part. Like a giant arm, the 17-mile long St. Joseph Peninsula—home to America’s #1-Ranked Beach, 2002—curves around to protect our coastline and quality of life. Nearby Panama City offers all the conveniences of an urban neighbor, peacefully removed.
The area was dubbed “Florida’s Forgotten Coast” when state tourism offi cials left it off a map in 1995, but ever since visitors have come to discover our upbeat, down home way of life with a thriving arts community and resource-rich environment. From the world-class freshwater fi shing of Wewahitchka to the historic, waterfront Port St. Joe and Cape San Blas, Gulf County offers something for all.
