Southwest® flights to Pensacola starting at $74

But a trip to Pensacola isn’t complete without spending time at one of its many beaches. One of the most popular area beaches is Pensacola Beach, a barrier island anchored at the western tip of Florida, stretching for miles along the Gulf of Mexico. From its lively crowds at its lifeguarded main beaches, to the secluded beaches of Gulf Island National Seashore, you’re sure to find the perfect spot in the sand. The National Seashore is an undeveloped and preserved stretch of sand and sea reaching from Cat Island in Mississippi to Okaloosa in Florida.

For other beachy activities, check out the Perdido Key State Park, a 247-acre barrier island positioned near Pensacola on the Gulf of Mexico. Perdido Key has white sand beaches and rolling dunes that make the park a favorite destination for swimmers and sunbathers alike. Beachgoers might also enjoy the views of the Gulf Coast when they visit the Pensacola Lighthouse. Established in 1859, this lighthouse serves as a history museum and an active U.S. Coast Guard aid to navigation. Climb the lighthouse’s 177 steps to take in the incredible vantage point and peek inside the old keeper’s quarters.

No matter if it’s a stroll through the historic downtown neighborhood, a day of surf and sand, or panoramic views of the Gulf Coast, Pensacola truly has it all. What are you waiting for?
