About The Community
Mexico Beach is the perfect vacation spot for you if you are an angler. You can fish from the city’s pier or out on boats. You are certain to have a successful day surf fishing for trout, whiting, mackerel, or cobia. Several fully equipped marinas cater to the boaters and charter boats are available for off shore or in shore fishing, scuba diving excursions, or just a relaxing day on the water. The city’s Canal Park with covered picnic tables, and a boardwalk along the water is also a favorite spot to catch big blue crabs, trout, redfish, and flounder.
Spend a relaxing morning basking in the golden rays of the Florida sunshine, or swim in or float on a raft in the cool waters just beyond the surf line. The coast is a beachcomber’s delight with beautiful shells on the water’s edge and numerous species of birds flitting around. Nothing can be more serene and relaxing. There is virtually no traffic even in peak vacation season but plenty to do as you browse the shops or stop for a meal. There are numerous options to try, depending on your mood.
