FWC has announced the closure of the 2026 recreational bay scallop harvest season in the Gulf County Zone due to very low bay scallop abundance. While scallop harvesting is prohibited this season, Gulf County waters remain open for other recreational activities, including fishing, boating and swimming.

Concerts & Live Music

Our small town carries a big sound when it comes to live music. Music happens in unexpected places in Gulf County. From nighttime establishments to festivals and even through late-night beach jam sessions, there is always something to tap your toe to.

Gulf County welcomed Brother’s Osborne in 2018 when they debuted their sophomore album named Port St. Joe, written locally in a home here. In April of the same year, they held their album release concert in Port St. Joe. So be on the lookout because you never know who you may see around town. Now Gulf County also has plenty of homegrown talent, so one night you might find a new favorite artist while enjoying a cocktail around town. Be sure to check out our event calendar for a list of festivals.
