SOUL SOOTHING Another perfect beach day, Pensacola
FIND YOUR WAY TO BEACH ™
F lorida’s western gate to the Sunshine State and one of the beachiest places in the US, Pensacola is also the first European settlement in America. It mixes stunning beaches, charming cities and a past that stretches back more than 460 years. Well-preserved Pensacola Village is historic and lots of fun. On the coast you can explore pre-Civil War era military forts, and if you like museums, Pensacola has those too. It’s been said there’s something magical about the beaches here, and just stepping onto the sand calms you. Although, with everything from water sports to family festivals aplenty, it’s well beyond soul-soothing. Pensacola’s gleaming white sands stretch along the Gulf for miles and the lively and lifeguarded main beaches are made for families. For total escapism, head to Perdido Key, known as the ‘lost’ barrier island, to find flawless sand dunes. Or take the adventure up a notch and go exploring around the Perdido Key-area parks, which include Big Lagoon State Park, Tarklin Bayou Preserve and Johnson Beach. Pensacola Beach, Fort Pickens, Perdido Key and Opal Beach are also part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore: the longest federally-protected seashore in the US. This eco-wonder is a Pensacola, located in Northwest Florida, is the state’s most westerly city. Situated on the Gulf Coast, it is officially The Way To Beach™. Our kids love it here, yours will too.
