It is sunny and 60 degrees outside this Spring day and we are loving it here in Western Washington. Do you know where the kids want to be? Outside of course. We love anything outdoors and when we get sushine, and even when we don’t, we love to head outside and play.
Do you know that Gulf County, Florida is on my travel bucket list?
Seriously. It is a great place to visit for a family vacation. I was looking at the Gulf County Adventure Guide and found so many beautiful photos and fun things to do. I’d love to take my kids to Gulf County, Florida for a family outdoor adventure!
Four To-Dos With Kids in Gulf County
First, Gulf County is home to more than 40% of the sea turtle population along Florida’s gulf coast. My kids and I would LOVE to see sea turtles swimming the wild. So a guided snorkel trip would be at the top of our list. We’d also be able to see starfish, seahorses, puffer fish and more!
My entire family loves fishing. Thankfully, there are great opportunities to fish in Gulf County. A waterfront cabin at Indian Pass would be great to easily take the kids fishing. We would see and enjoy beautiful beaches and wildlife.
Each summer we take my parent’s boat out in the Salish Sea and the Skagit River. The kids love boating as does my husband. In Gulf County, you can rent a boat and get a first hand view of the beauty on the water in Gulf County. There is also guided trips available.
My kids love visiting parks. When ever we travel we like to find nearby parks to take the kids. They have fun and parks are usually something you can do for free. Gulf County has a large variety of parks for the whole family to enjoy. Featuring playgrounds, trails and picnic tables – we’d be sure to have a great day at any of the parks available.
These are only four things I know my young kids would enjoy. Your family may love to kayak, see dolphins, scuba dive, ride horses, or do an eco-tour — it is all at GCFL and much more!
No hustle and bustle. A stress-free yet fun family vacation. An outdoor adventure. Doesn’t this sounds awesome?

I’d love to take the kids to Gulf County. It’s so beautiful there, and there’s so much to see and do.
That looks wonderful. I love all the activities that are offered that do not include theme parks or electronics. Will definitely be checking it out.
We have been down to the golf shores, but didn’t realized there was so much more to do than just going to to beach! Next visit down there we will be checking out some of these places!
What beautiful scenery. We are actually going to FL in May and hope to see some awesome views such as these!!!
We would love to go Dolphin watching! My kids and I are huge dolphin fanatics, so that would be at the top of our itinerary!
We would go on a sightseeing tour throughtout town!
I would love to visit the beaches, along with some sightseeing.
