Welcome to "Florida's Last Frontier" - Horseshoe Beach, FL

Horseshoe Beach is an isolated, laid back, friendly fishing village located on the Gulf of Mexico, 20 miles SW of Alt US 27, 2 hours from the major cities of Tallahassee, Gainesville, and Ocala.
Horseshoe sits squarely in the middle of the Big Bend area - halfway between the Suwannee and Steinhatchee Rivers on Florida's Nature Coast. The town is a fishing and boating community, home to a unique melting pot of permanent residents, weekend visitors, and seasonal tourists.
Fishing enthusiasts can find a range of appealing opportunities year round - from stalking pristine flats for big redfish to deep-sea trolling and bottom fishing, this place has it all. Airboats are abundant and kayakers find adventure exploring the shallow tidal grasslands.
Our town offers visitors a quiet, welcoming atmosphere with plenty of rental houses and condos, diverse services, and beautiful sunsets.

Finding Your Way Around
We're thrilled you're looking to visit us! If you're planning a day trip, all you'll need is directions - head to Cross City on US-19, then turn south at the sawmill on the west side of town onto SW 10th St. That will take you to SR-351. A right turn at the stop sign and you're on your way here. In Cross City proper, you can also turn by Lile's Ace Hardware - across the street from the Dairy Queen - directly onto SR-351. Cruise 20 miles down our long "Horseshoe Highway" and you'll find yourself in the middle of our town. Don't worry about going too far, the road makes a cul-de-sac at the point and will turn you around, right back into town.
Had a day's worth and can't get enough? You'll surely need accommodation. We have multiple motels in town, along with a few longer stay options. Take a look at our Services page for more information.
If you need snacks, pantry staples, hardware, or a home-cooked meal, several businesses in town are sure to be able to meet your needs. Our Services page keeps an updated list of service providers and business information.
