Port St. Joe is a small town just east of Panama City. It was a very friendly town, with nice shops and a few restaurants. I didn't stay very long, but it was a very pleasant place to visit.

This was a very nice coffee shop and book store. 
CAPE SAN BLAS LIGHTHOUSE
The first lighthouse at Cape San Blas, near the town of Port St. Joe, was erected in 1849. It was an 85-foot conical brick tower designed to warn ships of the dangerous shoal at the Cape. It was destroyed by a storm in 1851, and replaced in 1856 with a similar brick tower that was destroyed within a few months. The third lighthouse was built in 1857 and was damaged during the War Between the States, but survived until toppled by beach erosion in 1882. In 1883, it was replaced by a 98-foot "skeletal" lighthouse comprised of eight cast iron legs that support the "watch room" and lantern at the top of the tower. Although the tower initially stood 1500 feet from the shore, a powerful storm in 1894 left it damaged and standing in water. In 1918, it was moved one quarter mile to where it stands today. The light was lit on January 22, 1919.
