The Pensacola Bay Area offers visitors the best of both worlds: 52 miles of sun-drenched, sugar-white beaches alongside a historic town rich with culture and Southern hospitality. It’s the perfect blend for an ideal getaway. Resting on the banks of Pensacola Bay, the quaint downtown takes visitors back in time. Pensacola offers visitors 450 years of history, the National Naval Aviation Museum, innovative coastal cuisine, art and culture, unique shopping and many festivals throughout the year celebrating everything from music and food to arts and Mardi Gras. The area’s beaches are some of the most beautiful in the country. Located on one of the world’s longest barrier islands, Pensacola Beach has an old Florida feel with natural beaches, local hang outs, first-rate fishing and historic Fort Pickens. Perdido Key encompasses federal and state parks abundant with wetlands, estuaries and wildlife. The area also offers first-class golf with Lost Key Golf Club, an Arnold Palmer Signature Design Course and the first in the world to be certified as an Audubon International Silver Signature Sanctuary.
