Horseshoe Beach Services


Horseshoe Beach calls itself home to a number of businesses offering goods and services from lodging and dining to fishing charters and hardware. Whether you're looking to pick up a new outfit, find a meal, get some help with a boat, or even rent some land or water transportation, the hard-working folks of Horseshoe Beach are sure to have you covered.

Most of these businesses suffered partial or complete damage during Hurricane Idalia in August 2023. Please call ahead to confirm availability.
