Pensacola Florida Area Beaches
Pensacola Beach is the hub of Santa Rosa Island, one of the longest barrier islands in the world.
The Gulf Islands National Seashore covers much of the island, keeping beaches accessible to the public and preserving the area's environment and history.
Restaurants, shops and entertainment abound on Pensacola Beach. To get a different view of the shore, stroll the Pensacola Beach Pier , or try one of our many watersports. From parasailing and sailing to deep sea fishing and surfing, you'll never run out of fun things to do at Pensacola Beach. The calendar is filled with special events and public pavilions provide free jazz, blues, rock and country music several nights a week during warm weather.
