There are many names for Pensacola: America’s First European Settlement, Cityof Five Flags, Cradle of Naval Aviation, and of course, home of Florida’s mostbeautiful beaches.

Yet, we’ve managed to remain remarkably unspoiled. Our 52 miles of beachesare famous for their white sands and undeveloped pristine beauty – and we’redetermined to keep it that way.

At the same time, like all Southerners, we like to share, which is why we’rehappy to extend a warm invitation to visit us anytime. We love to entertain, andwe’re eager to show off our fascinating community.

Whether you’re planning a vacation, business trip or making arrangements foran extended stay, the Pensacola Bay Area Convention & Visitors Bureau is ready toassist.

Pensacola is the best of the American South. It’s warm, hospitable and chock-full oflocal and regional traditions including Mardi Gras festivities and spectacular BlueAngels air shows. It’s also a place where you can step back in time and immerseyourself in five distinct historical periods – and numerous cultures.

Perhaps most important of all, it’s one of the last places to experience Florida as itused to be – natural, uncrowded, sun-drenched and full of pristine beaches where youcan truly get away from it all.

Western Gate to the Sunshine State —Pensacola’s location on the westernmost tip of

the Florida Panhandle means we’re the first city

to welcome most driving visitors coming from

Alabama and Mississippi, not to mention most

states west of the Mississippi River.

America’s First EuropeanSettlement — We hate to brag, but

even before “America’s oldest city”

St. Augustine was discovered by

European explorers, Spanish explorer

Don Tristan de Luna had already

brought an expedition to Pensacola’s

shores. The settlement didn’t weather

its first hurricane very well, and it was abandoned

a few years later.

City of Five Flags — Over the last four

centuries, Spain, France, England, the

Confederate States of America and the United

States have ruled Pensacola. This cultural

diversity is evident in the amazing architecture,

historical sites, cuisine and events.

Cradle of Naval Aviation —All Navy, Marine and Coast

Guard aviators start their training

right here in Pensacola. It also

doesn’t hurt that we’re home

to one of the world’s largest

aviation museums, the

National Naval Aviation

Museum, and the world-

famous Blue Angels.

Beaches: Ranging from popularlocal hangouts complete withconcessions and other amenities tonational seashore beaches whereyour footprints on the sand couldbe the first ones of the day.

The sand dunes along the Northwest Florida coast are a vitalpart of our ecosystem. They help protect the island from severe

waves and weather, which is why we’ve built walkovers and other

designated places to lessen our impact on the dunes.

The Pensacola Bay Area was featured on the Travel Channel’s

“Top Secret Beaches of the World” series in 2002—the only

continental U.S. destination among 20 beaches worldwide.

Leatherman, Ph.D., also known as “Dr. Beach.”

Fort McRee Ruins. (underwater attraction) For

approximately 70 years, this pre-Civil War era fort protected

the eastern end of Perdido Key. A hurricane destroyed most

of it, creating a set of underwater ruins that are now enjoyed

by schools of snorkelers each year.

Johnson Beach, Gulf Islands National Seashore.Located on the east end of the key, this national park offers

picnic tables, restrooms and ranger-led programs such as

barrier island walks traversing the varied habitats such as

dunes, wetlands, forest and marsh. Each walk is open for

tracks, scan live oak trees for belted kingfishers or osprey, or

perhaps the salt marsh periwinkle, a small snail that lives on

needlerush.

first two trips were successful and his bravery earned him a

posthumous Purple Heart.

Trust us when we say you haven’t seen anythingquite like the special events we enjoy here onPerdido Key. “Unbelievable,” “Wow,” “That’shilarious” and “I can’t believe I just did that,” arejust a few of the comments we frequently hearfrom spectators and participants alike.

A bit quieter and a little less populated, one of Perdido Key’s

primary attractions lies in its “off-the-beaten-path”

tranquility.

What Used to BeAntiquated buildings have been

preserved and reused adding charm to

this fascinating city. Discover the

secrets that have been woven into the

fabric of present day Downtown.

In 1912, the Crowne Plaza PensacolaGrand Hotel was home to the

Louisville & Nashville (L&N) railroad

passenger depot. The original depot

now houses the lobby, lounges, shops

and meeting rooms of the hotel. A wall

of old photographs and tools used

during the depot days recreates the

feeling of life as it was 100 years ago.

Pensacola Little Theatre is located

in what used to serve as the Pensacola

County Jail. Built in 1911, much of the

original structure is still intact

including the marble staircase that

connected the first and second floor

of the Court of Records Building. The

atrium restaurant originally served as

the exercise yard. Be sure to ask about

the resident ghost.

Quayside Art Gallery was the

headquarters and social center for the

Germania Steam Fire Engine and

Hose Company in 1873. It was

constructed one block north of the

wooden quays for square rigged

sailing ships and housed the “Marie

Louise," a 2.5-ton, horse-drawn,

steam-pumping fire engine.

Seville Quarter, a large

entertainment and dining complex,

used to be the Pensacola Cigar and

Tobacco Company in 1871, as well as

the Pensacola Printing Company.

Pieces of Pensacola history are used

throughout the complex including

giant iron gates salvaged from the Old

American National Bank Building.
