Things to do in Florida, Emerald Coast

The Greater Pensacola Area

AREA SNAPSHOT
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.

PENSACOLA
Resting on the banks of Pensacola Bay, the quaint downtown takes visitors back in time. Pensacola offers visitors 450 years of history, 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.

PENSACOLA BEACH
Located on Santa Rosa Island, 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 BEACH
Spanish for “lost island,” Perdido Key encompasses federal and state parks abundant with wetlands, estuaries and wildlife.

The “City of Five Flags,” Pensacola has been ruled by Britain, France, Spain, the Confederacy and the United States. Pensacola, discovered by Spanish explorers in 1559, was one of America’s first European settlements. The city’s rich history lends itself to fascinating historical and archaeological sites, allowing visitors to absorb its colorful past. History comes to life in Historic Pensacola Village, Museum of Commerce, St. Michael’s Cemetery, Pensacola Lighthouse and massive, pre-Civil War brick forts. Pensacola also boasts a rich military heritage with Naval Air Station Pensacola, the world-famous Blue Angels and the National Naval Aviation Museum, one of the world’s largest air and space museums.
