There are many names for Pensacola: America’s First European Settlement, City
of Five Flags, Cradle of Naval Aviation, and of course, home of Florida’s most
beautiful beaches.
But to those lucky enough to visit our shores each year, it’s probably simpler just
to say this... we’re the place where extraordinary Florida vacations happen.
Over the past 450 years, Pensacola has evolved to become a beautiful city
brimming with culture, world-renowned museums and family-friendly attractions.
Yet, we’ve managed to remain remarkably unspoiled. Our 52 miles of beaches
are famous for their white sands and undeveloped pristine beauty – and we’re
determined to keep it that way.
At the same time, like all Southerners, we like to share, which is why we’re
happy to extend a warm invitation to visit us anytime. We love to entertain, and
we’re eager to show off our fascinating community.
Whether you’re planning a vacation, business trip or making arrangements for
an extended stay, the Pensacola Bay Area Convention & Visitors Bureau is ready to
assist.
So plan a little. Dream a little. And come let us spoil you in the last unspoiled
corner of Florida.

Western Gate to the Sunshine State —
Pensacola’s location on the westernmost tip of
the Florida Panhandle means we’re the first city
to welcome most driving visitors coming from
Alabama and Mississippi, not to mention most
states west of the Mississippi River.
America’s First European
Settlement — We hate to brag, but
even before “America’s oldest city”
St. Augustine was discovered by
European explorers, Spanish explorer
Don Tristan de Luna had already
brought an expedition to Pensacola’s
shores. The settlement didn’t weather
its first hurricane very well, and it was abandoned
a few years later.
City of Five Flags — Over the last four
centuries, Spain, France, England, the
Confederate States of America and the United
States have ruled Pensacola. This cultural
diversity is evident in the amazing architecture,
historical sites, cuisine and events.
Cradle of Naval Aviation —
All Navy, Marine and Coast
Guard aviators start their training
right here in Pensacola. It also
doesn’t hurt that we’re home
to one of the world’s largest
aviation museums, the
National Naval Aviation
Museum, and the world-
famous Blue Angels.
Visitors often comment that
Pensacola is easy to get to, yet so hard to leave.
Here’s how we can help you with the first part.
By air: With more than 100 flights daily to
major cities, Pensacola Regional Airport offers jet
and prop service via several major airlines. The
airport is located in the center of town at 12th

Pensacola is the best of the American South. It’s warm, hospitable and chock-full of
local and regional traditions including Mardi Gras festivities and spectacular Blue
Angels air shows. It’s also a place where you can step back in time and immerse (800) 247-8726 • www.airtran.com
yourself in five distinct historical periods – and numerous cultures. Non-stop to Atlanta

Drenched in sunshine, it is little
wonder Pensacola Beach is a water
wonderland. Getting your feet wet with
a variety of adventures appealing to
beginners and thrill seekers alike, the
fun under our sun presents new and
ever-changing ways to create favorite
vacation memories.
Whether you want a day of smooth
sailing, kayaking to secluded coves or
page 10
your need for speed leads you to
waverunners or parasailing, we are
equipped to give you a splashing good
time. And our fleet of fishing charters
is waiting to provide the angler action
you desire.
Landlubbers in the group will find
attractions such as miniature golf,
unique shopping, an arcade, go-karts
and nature walks. For getting around
the island, the old ways are still the
best: bare feet or two wheels. Bicycle
rentals are available with bikes ranging
from single-rider “beach cruisers” to
those large enough to seat eight.
No matter what you choose, there are
plenty of restaurants on Santa Rosa
Island offering delectable, local dishes
to satisfy the appetite you are sure to
work up.
Casino Beach. Located in the heart of Pensacola Beach beneath
the famous “beach ball” water tower, this beach got its name from
the old casino building that once held dances and special events.
Today, it’s home to Gulfside Pavilion, the venue for many free
concerts such as Bands on the Beach.
Gulf Islands National Seashore. Beaches don’t get more
pristine than these federally protected shores at Santa Rosa (just
east of Pensacola Beach) and Fort Pickens (west of Pensacola
Beach). If you’re a boater, cyclist or intrepid hiker (it’s a 15-mile
round trip) feel free to head farther west to view Fort Pickens, a
massive pre-Civil War brick fortress once held by Union forces
during the Civil War. 1801 Gulf Breeze Pkwy., (850) 934-2600,
www.nps.gov/guis.
Pensacola Beach Fishing Pier. At 1,471 feet, this pier is the
longest in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to great fishing and
bird watching, it offers quite a view for just a buck. 41 Fort Pickens
Rd., (850) 934-7200, www.fishpensacolabeachpier.com.
Quietwater Beach. Located to your left just after you pass the
tollbooth, Quietwater is aptly named. It lines Santa Rosa Sound
and its safe and shallow waters especially appeal to parents with
little ones. Nearby you’ll find businesses with waverunners, kayaks,
sailboats and other water-related rental equipment.
www.visitpensacolabeach.com.
Portofino Boardwalk. To many visitors, the heart and soul of
Pensacola Beach is this lively boardwalk, which features an
enticing mix of shops, eateries, entertainment complexes and the
famous boardwalk seashell stage. www.visitpensacolabeach.com.
Tiki Island Golf and Games. You’ll be the high man on the
totem pole when you take your kids to this fun-filled facility,
which offers 18-hole miniature fantasy golf, an arcade,
ice cream treats and family-size bike rentals. 2 Via DeLuna Dr.,

sand beaches.
Golf Courses: Two
Average Temperature: 77 degrees high,

Popular Activities: National and state parks,
year-round live music, water activities galore
Trust us when we say you haven’t seen anything
quite like the special events we enjoy here on
Perdido Key. “Unbelievable,” “Wow,” “That’s
hilarious” and “I can’t believe I just did that,” are
just a few of the comments we frequently hear
from spectators and participants alike.
Join the fun and come home with vacation stories
your friends will be hard-pressed to top. Look at
the Calendar of Events on page 38 for details on
some “Key” events such as the Frank Brown
International Songwriters Festival, the Interstate
Mullet Toss (yes, you actually toss a fish across the
state line) and the Polar Bear Dip. Be sure to check
out Thunder on the Gulf power boat races with
more than 40 vessels competing at speeds up to
170 mph each August.
The sand dunes along the Northwest Florida coast are a vital
part of our ecosystem. They help protect the island from severe
waves and weather, which is why we’ve built walkovers and other
designated places to lessen our impact on the dunes.
The Pensacola Bay Area was featured on the Travel Channel’s
“Top Secret Beaches of the World” series in 2002—the only
continental U.S. destination among 20 beaches worldwide.
Perdido Key was ranked among the top 20 beaches in the
nation in an annual ranking by noted academic Steven
Leatherman, Ph.D., also known as “Dr. Beach.”
A bit quieter and a little less populated, one of Perdido Key’s
primary attractions lies in its “off-the-beaten-path”
tranquility.
Located about 15 miles southwest of Pensacola, its very name
– Perdido – is Spanish for “lost,” which makes a lot of sense
to our visitors. They love to lose themselves in our
breathtaking beaches, relaxed pace and our renowned
Southern hospitality. And so will you. No need to dress up,
you’re welcome just the way you are.
Big Lagoon State Park. Located along the Intracoastal
Waterway, this 698-acre gem offers a variety of water- and
nature-related activities. Check out the view from a 40-foot
observation tower. Explore miles of meticulously maintained
trails to see native plants and animals up close and personal.
Better yet, pull up a boat or set up camp and gaze at a starry
sky. Open 8 a.m. to sunset daily, 12301 Gulf Beach Hwy.,
(850) 492-1595, www.floridastateparks.org/biglagoon.
Fort McRee Ruins. (underwater attraction) For
approximately 70 years, this pre-Civil War era fort protected
the eastern end of Perdido Key. A hurricane destroyed most
of it, creating a set of underwater ruins that are now enjoyed
by schools of snorkelers each year.
Johnson Beach, Gulf Islands National Seashore.
Located on the east end of the key, this national park offers
picnic tables, restrooms and ranger-led programs such as
barrier island walks traversing the varied habitats such as
dunes, wetlands, forest and marsh. Each walk is open for
discovery as participants look for Perdido Key Beach Mouse
tracks, scan live oak trees for belted kingfishers or osprey, or
perhaps the salt marsh periwinkle, a small snail that lives on
needlerush.
Lost Key Golf Club. Far more than just a golf club, this
designated Audubon Signature Cooperative Sanctuary is a
fine-feathered way to combine bird-watching with a round
of golf. 625 Lost Key Dr., (850) 549-2160, www.lostkey.com.
Perdido Key State Park. This stunning 247-acre area
borders the Gulf of Mexico. Recreational possibilities range from
swimming to picnicking to surf fishing. Open 8 a.m. to sunset
daily, (850) 492-1595, www.floridastateparks.org/perdidokey.
Rosamond Johnson Monument. Located within Johnson
Beach, Gulf Island National Seashore, this monument
honors Escambia County resident Rosamond Johnson for
his service in the United States Army during the Korean
War. He died at the age of 17 while attempting to cross the
38th parallel for a third time to rescue wounded soldiers. His
first two trips were successful and his bravery earned him a
posthumous Purple Heart.

There are many reasons why the
Pensacola Bay Area is a great place to
migrate for the winter.
Mild winters are combined with the
best lodging deals of the year (the
opposite of South Florida). And
many of our most popular assets –
golf, museums, shopping and
historical tours – are just as
welcoming as ever. Naturally we’ll
make sure you eat right with our
fresh seafood and mouthwatering
Southern cooking. So grab your clubs
(or fishing pole or shopping bag or
binoculars) and head on down. See
for yourself why so many snowbirds
rave about our “secret season.”
page 14
Any season of the year, any time of day, there’s something to delight you in Pensacola.
From A (a world-renowned aviation museum) to Z (our popular local
ZOO), we offer fun for all ages.
As do our neighbors Perdido Key and Pensacola Beach, we boast plenty of water,
sunshine and gorgeous weather. However, we also offer something that’s all our own
– a wide variety of ways to stretch your mind, expand your horizons and experience
the colorful character of the American South.
It’s easy to see why so many people choose to tie the knot
in the Pensacola Bay Area. Pristine beaches with wedding-
white sand and historical venues such as Old Christ
Church make the perfect setting for your perfect day.

 Pensacola has had an active scuba diving population
since the ’60s. But with the sinking of the USS
Oriskany in 2006, we’ve now gone from being the
“best-kept secret in the diving world” to the must-
see destination. As home to the world’s largest
artificial reef, scuba enthusiasts are also discovering
dozens of other dive destinations off Pensacola’s
shores perfect for observing and photographing
marine life, spear fishing and beginning wreck
penetration dives for properly trained divers.

USS Oriskany. Reefed in May 2006, this

behemoth aircraft carrier has already become the
“must-dive” for scuba enthusiasts across the
globe. Now the world’s largest artificial reef at
911-feet long, she rests just 24 miles southeast of
Pensacola Pass. The vessel’s island is located at
67 feet, and the flight deck forms an artificial
bottom at 135 feet making it accessible yet
challenging for divers of every level. For more
