Black’s Island is more than just a destination – it’s a way of life.
For anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate the wild beauty of nature and the timeless gift of seclusion, Black’s Island is Florida’s ultimate in understated luxury vacation. Sheltered by Cape San Blas and surrounded by the pristine waters of St. Joseph Bay, escape to one of the most beautiful private islands in the United States.
The island's bungalows are fully equipped private residences with all the comforts of home, including modern kitchens offering a full range stovetop and oven, large refrigerator & freezer, filtered ice maker, microwaves, coffee makers and sustainable ceramic mugs, cookware, glassware, dishes, sharp knives and utensils. Create sea-to-table meals for your group in the privacy of your own chef’s kitchen, featuring spacious granite countertops and tons of pantry space so you can spread out. Or cook up your catch of the day on one of the various outdoor grills provided.
Getting There
Black’s Island is only accessible by boat, seaplane or helicopter. It is strongly recommended to bring your own vessel to make the most of your visit. The island dock accommodates large boats up to 50 feet. Ferry service is irregular, and must be pre-arranged in advance of your arrival. The island regularly welcomes fly-in guests via seaplane and helicopter. It is a pleasant 10 minute trip between mainland and island.
By Land: Black’s Island is located in Gulf County, Florida, on 30A.
By Sea: Enter St. Joseph Bay from the north out of the Gulf of Mexico
By Air: Panama City Beach International Airport (ECP) is just under 1.5 hour drive from the island's mainland marina. Private pilots may wish to fly into Apalachicola Regional Airport, which is only 20-30 minutes away.
Explore
Live like a local. Along with insider tips on the best places to shop, eat and explore across Gulf County, private excursions can be arranged as well as fishing guides, night gigging, and eco-tours across the Saint Joseph Bay Aquatic Preserve, which is known for the well-preserved seagrass beds that provide a protected environment for exotic fish, seahorses, starfish, crabs, conchs, and other marine life.
