One of the most beautiful and secluded beaches in the Pensacola area. This is a state park and requires a fee or pass but it's worth it because the crowds are smaller. This beach is less than 5 minutes from our homes in the Perdido area and 16 miles from downtown.

Great burgers, sandwiches, etc. Two locations . . . this one is just 1.5 miles from our townhouse (312 E Government St, Pensacola, FL 32502). There is another Hub Stacey's at the Point that is right by a boat dock. Enjoy the day on the water then pull out and grab a delicious bite to eat!

Tried the Fish House this week while in Pensacola and it was DELICIOUS! Tons of seating indoor and out. Great view of the water and Pensacola Bay Bridge. The sautéed crab claws were divine. Their house special Grits a Ya Ya was seriously delicious. I also loved their strawberry salad; tasted like a summer party in your mouth. Heard this was also the best place for oysters but unfortunately they aren't doing oysters right now. Will have to go back and try them another time.
