GULF COUNTY, ESCAPE TO WARM WEATHER
Gulf County Tourist Development Council Welcomes Winter Guests
The winter guests come here to recall simpler times. They come because Gulf
County offers a more relaxed approach to life, a treasured retreat from the mad
pace of the holidays and the winter temperatures. Here, you are no longer a
stranger. Your face quickly becomes familiar and the cashier at the local store
remembers you and your favorite items.
In Gulf County the pace is slower so you can take in the timeless images of life
along the water from the front porch swing of your winter home. Views such as
dolphins dancing to the shrimp and deep-sea fishing boats traveling St Joseph
Bay, you won’t find high-rise condos here to block the views of our waterways –
just the tranquil appeal of a small town.
“Our winter guests come back to Gulf County each year more excited than the
last,” Executive Director Kelli Godwin states. “They look forward to mingling with
our locals in the community and becoming a part of Gulf County.”
Just because the pace is slower, it doesn’t mean that there is not an abundance
of activities for the winter guests. There is a special website designated just for
the events in the winter months. It is packed full of activities such as golf
tournaments, a welcome party to include food, music and dancing plus local
information. Guests can also find details about the Farmer’s Market, the Winter
Speaker Series at the Library or Bay Day at the Buffer Preserve by visiting the
website at www.gcflwinterfun.com.
If you are a first time guest to the area, do not hesitate to contact the Welcome
Center for more information or utilize the Concierge Program at
www.visitgulf.com where one of the concierges can help plan your winter
vacation.
