ITEM 1. Security and Issuer.

This amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (the “Amendment No. 5”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D,” as amended and supplemented, the “Schedule 13D”), filed on October 14, 2010, by Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, (“Fairholme”), Fairholme Funds, Inc., a Maryland investment company (the “Fund”), and Bruce R. Berkowitz, a United States citizen (collectively with Fairholme and the Fund, the “Reporting Persons”), relating to the common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), of The St. Joe Company (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at: 133 South WaterSound Parkway WaterSound, Florida 32413.

Capitalized terms not defined in this 13D Amendment No. 5 shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D is unmodified.

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:

Bruce R. Berkowitz and Charles M. Fernandez, Managing Member and President, respectively, of Fairholme, have withdrawn their names from consideration to serve on the Issuer’s slate of directors for the Issuer’s upcoming Annual General Meeting and have resigned from the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”), effective as of February 14, 2011.

On February 14, 2011, Mr. Berkowitz and Mr. Fernandez sent the following email to the Board:

Directors of St. Joe:

The two of us have discussed the situation at St. Joe and its nominating and governance process. We will not stand for re-election except as part of a Board where a majority of the directors are committed to shareholder value, pay for performance, and effective corporate governance.

After working with the current Board over these past weeks, we have concluded that the current Board is not in a position to propose such a slate of directors.

Accordingly, we withdraw our names from consideration by the Nominating and Governance Committee for election at the Annual General Meeting, and we resign from the Board of St. Joe effective immediately.

Bruce & Charlie
