Why Pensacola?

  • 52 miles of beaches between Perdido and Navarre.
  • Home of the Blue Angels and National Naval Aviation Museum.
  • Walkable downtown anchored by Palafox Street.
  • World's longest-running US lighthouse still in operation (Pensacola Lighthouse, 1859).
  • Cradle of Naval Aviation - first US Naval Air Station was here in 1914.
  • Dive capital for artificial reefs: over 100 sites including the USS Oriskany "Great Carrier Reef."
  • Average 343 days of sunshine a year on the Gulf Coast.
  • Home to McGuire's "$10,000 on the ceiling" tradition - now millions in signed bills.

Visitor tips

  • Best season: October-May for festivals and mild temps; summer brings crowds and heat.
  • Parking: Beach lots fill early on weekends; arrive before 9:30 AM or use the trolley/ride-share.
  • Flag colors: Follow beach flags; avoid red/double red. Swim near lifeguards.
  • Rain plan: Museums, breweries, Cordova shops, and downtown galleries make great backups.
  • Sun & gear: Bring shade, water, and cash for parking; no glass on the beach.
  • Pets: Use designated dog beaches only; leash and pack water/bags.
  • Traffic timing: Cross the bridge early or after sunset to skip peak backups.
