My husband and I fell in love with Port St. Joe, FL on our anniversary, it was our first visit and long distance RV trip. We had such a wonderful time that we scheduled another trip right away and brought our kids and 4 of our dogs!! Needless to say they all loved it! Truly Paradise! One day our daughter was on the beach playing and found a Blue Crap:) she got a little to close and Mr. Crab chased her snapping his claws, she ran laughing and screaming, it was so much fun! We had such a great time and shortly after we were blessed to be able to purchase this beach front lot that is now called The Crab Claw'. In loving memory of Charles M.

Great Site that could use some TLC

28 ft travel trailer · With pets

Great location, you are very close to the beach with a short dune that allows you to see the ocean from your RV. When we arrived the very full wheely trash bin was tipped over and trash pulled out. The neighbor said it had been that way for a week after a Florida black bear went through it. Spent hour cleaning up the trash which was all over the site. Picnic table needs replaced or disposed, shower valve leaks, ground is very sandy and could use gravel refreshed.

It was not kept up. Dirty, trash, dead vegetation. Picnic table broken. Clearly no one takes care of it. Plus someone rode a golf cart over their beach walk and ran over our sewer hose and ruined it.

Quiet, Clean & Perfect

34 ft travel trailer

We loved the setup at the Crab Claw! It was quiet, clean & easy to set up our camper. Plenty of room for our vehicle, and outdoor lounging set up. It’s just a short walk to the beach, half ground cover vines, half boardwalk over a dune. The beach was beautiful & very private feeling, even with a few families from nearby rentals setting up as well. My husband fished & I walked the shoreline. We loved the area & will definitely return! Only suggestion would be a little bit better lighting on the signage & maybe a more prominent placing, especially for those coming in after dark…the sign is small & if you aren’t paying attention you might miss it.

Beautiful spot with a new private walkway right to the beach. Very relaxed atmosphere. Not too far from the cute shoos and restaurants of Port St Joe. I was able to take my dog and had a wonderful time! Thank you to my kind hosts. We had a question and she called us right back❤️

Anniversary at The Crab Claw

37 ft Class A · With pets

We had a very relaxing anniversary trip at The Crab Claw! Very short walk over the dune and you are there! I think the nicest thing is how calm the beach is because there is no public access. You can sit and relax or there is plenty of stuff to do around Cape San Blas and Port St Joe! Also the host are VERY responsive and answered every question we had quickly. Would definitely stay again!

Soul Soothing

30 ft travel trailer · Group trip

We loved our time spent on Tracy & Chas’s lot. The view of the water and the sound of it was so relaxing and soul soothing. They have a new boardwalk and I parked my beach chair there all week to sit and vegetate each day. If you want a quiet and scenic spot you must give this spot a go.

Loved our stay! Beach is awesome. Always had a breeze. We do recommend a canopy for shade. We brought tie downs for the awning on our camper so we could leave it out without worrying about the wind getting it. Can't wait to come back!

Living the life

Absolutely beautiful spot, the perfect get away. It’s quite on the beach and not even a lot of traffic on 30a. Site is easy to get into even with a 44’ camper. Tracy is a God send and answered every question I had. Only draw back, the water hook up is on the other side of the lot. With July heat water coming through a lot of hose stays warm with no water heater.

The beach access was incredible. Particularly for early morning or evening walks on the beach. The outdoor shower is an added bonus. My only concern was the lack of signage or address labeling from the road. We had to really pay attention to the addresses around us to figure out where to turn. Otherwise, great site.

Ready to book again!

Group trip

This is the PERFECT beach campsite! I want to come back here over & over. It features a convenient stroll to the beach, hardly any other people there (due to not being an overly populated area), and very little light pollution so you can enjoy the stars at night. Quick trip in any direction to other activities. Part of our group drove over to check out Apalachicola and we enjoyed snorkeling in the bay at St Joseph’s Peninsula state park. Do I want to recommend to others? Yes!! 100 times yes, but I don’t want anyone else to find out about this great spot because then it will always be booked and I can’t come back! (Just kidding! Kind of) We loved every moment of our stay!!!! Tracy & Chas communicated well the one time we needed them. Otherwise, everything was as described and we enjoyed a superb stay! Can’t wait to come back (soon).
