Pensacola Beach, Florida a Little Something For Everyone

If you've never been to the Emerald Coast beaches, then a vacation to Pensacola Beach, Florida is perfect. Imagine pure white sands and water that is crystal clear and just as beautiful as it's given name.

And while white sands may seem wondrous all on their own, the city is also known for its variety of attractions, events and activities. Maybe a day at the spa is just what mom needs and then a little shopping afterwards. Or maybe dad would enjoy a little deep-sea fishing, scuba diving or a game or two of golf.

And let's not forget the kiddos because there's always plenty of family-fun filled activities such as sailing, fishing, playing on wave runners and kayaking. And if playing on the water isn't your idea of a family-fun adventure, there's always hiking, picnicking, bicycling, building sandcastles or attending free concerts.

Pensacola Beach Facts and Figures 

Pensacola Beach, Florida More Than Just Beaches 

Of course there's always more to this lovely city than just beaches and water. On the south side of Fort Pickens Road sits a 10-foot concrete cross, which commemorates the first Christian mass held in the United States.

Near downtown lies the National Naval Aviation Museum where over 140 restored aircraft from the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard Aviation are displayed. There are also four F-14 military flight-training simulators that visitors can try out and a 15- passenger full-moon flight simulator that allows you to experience the excitement of flying.
