What I'd do is stay at St. George Island. Note that you'll need to drive or long bike ride to the beach at St. George; the CG is on the bay side.
There are many restaurants etc on St.George. http://seestgeorgeisland.com/
Go across the bridge to Apalach for the day.
St. Joe SP is by the beach but there's pretty much nothing else out there other than vacation homes; it's _way_ out.
From Panacea take day trips to Wakulla Springs SP, the great restaurant at Spring Creek and down to the lighthouse (can't go inside) through the St. Marks NWR. You can get some more beach in down Mashes Sands road at the bridge on the north side of Ochlockonee Bay at the quick-rip store.
This area of the Gulf from Bald Point eastward around to Clearwater Beach is a low-energy part of the Gulf because rather shallow water extends far offshore; that's why beaches are rare.
