Pensacola

Pensacola sits on the Gulf Coast, just east of the border of Alabama in the Florida panhandle. The city of Pensacola has a rich past and with efforts to revitalize the downtown, historic sites and museums attract visitors seeking a cultural vacation. For an ocean-side getaway, head south across the Pensacola Bay bridge to Pensacola Beach, located on Santa Rosa Sound, one of the world’s longest barrier islands. The white-sand beaches, world-class fishing and scuba diving and coastal cuisine offer visitors a relaxing holiday. Southwest of the city along the Alabama border is the barrier island of Perdido Key. Comprised of federal and state parks, including the Gulf Islands National Seashore, this island is a nature lover’s paradise teaming with wildlife.
