Welcome to the upside of Florida

Perdido Beach is praised for its natural beauty – sugar-white sands and crystal-clear waters invite residents and visitors alike to surf, snorkel, boat, kayak, or fish in the pleasantly mild weather year-round. Open-air dining, shopping, and live entertainment occur along the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk, and the shoreline atmosphere agreeably shifts from excited crowds and lifeguards to quiet stretches of sand for personal relaxation. The Gulf Islands National Seashore was named the best east coast beach in 2016.
