Enjoy the Holiday Season on Cape San Blas
December is a festive time to be on Cape San Blas, and there are several ways to celebrate the holiday season on the Forgotten Coast. And, if you stay with Coastal Joe in December, we still have plenty of homes offering 20% off stays of 3nights or more. (Offer valid through December 31, 2022)
The average high temperature in December on Cape San Blas is 67, with the lows dipping into the mid to high 50’s. While December is one of the cooler months of the year on Cape San Blas, it is still very pleasant, with a good amount of sun, and some days rising into the 70’s. For anyone that lives further north, a 60 to 70 degree day in the winter is dreamy! And, the beaches and restaurants are much quieter than in the spring and summer months.
If you plan to visit Cape San Blas in December, here are handful of annual events you might want to put on your calendar:
