Can you help us find a beach that allows dogs near Pensacola? Were going to visit family there soon.
Hmmmmmmm.. sorry no :0)
It's probably too late for you, but dogs are not allowed anywhere on Pensacola beach. That said, I take mine out past the public beach and towards Navarre. In the off season there are few people out there and you can choose from the beach on the right or the sound on your left (mine prefers the calmer waters of the sound).
There is now a Dog Beach in Pensacola!! Here is a link to some info and pics

How satisfying, no more discrimination ;o))
the beaches are great when u are little. finding the shells on the beach is awsome. Want I miss the most is the beaches. feeling the sun, seeing that beautiful blue water, and just laying on the sand.
I saw a brochure for The Lighthouse Point Restaurant, and asked the Visitor's Center on the island east of Fort Walton Beach and was told that it was just a replica. But, that was wrong.
This was the first lighthouse on the Florida Gulf Coast. It is on a site one half mile west of the original lighthouse and stands as the back of the range which marks the only entrance into Pensacola harbor. The lighthouse is on the Naval Air Station just past the big Air Museum. Getting onto the base requires showing an ID but isn't difficult.
During the Civil War the Fresnel lens which was made in Paris by Henri LaPaite was taken out of the tower for safekeeping. It has been reinstalled in the lighthouse which is still a working aid to navigation. The lightkeeper's house was built in 1869 and the light was electrified in 1939 and automated in 1965. The light can be seen for 27 miles..
Weather permitting, tours are given on Sundays from May to September between 12 and 3:30 pm. We visited in December, so of course we couldn't go on a tour. Visitors must climb 177 steps and I wouldn't have wanted to do that anyway. Children under 6 years of age are not permited in the tower.
According to the Friends of Pensacola Light: From Highway 90 in Pensacola, turn south on Highway 295 (New Warrington Road and Navy Boulevard), and follow it for three miles. SR 295 leads to the main gate of the Pensacola Naval Air Station, but visitors must now use a different entrance.
This was incorrect in December 2005. We went to the Naval Air Museum, and the lighthouse is just past that. There are two sides to the entrance into NAS Pensacola - one side for those with base stickers, and one side for visitors.
Unfortunately, the restaurant was not open when we were there. It is open to the public though, and I've given the phone number. Lunch is served Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Reservations for individuals, groups and tour buses are accepted.
Marina Oyster Bar is located off a back road in Pensacola, but it's worth the drive. Recovered from batterings from hurricanes, they have maintained a reputation for great food and casual atmosphere. You can't make reservations, and the wait list can get a little long during lunch, but it's worth it. Fresh osyters, fresh fried hush-puppies, cold beer, great fish sandwiches, Marina is great for a late lunch or early dinner after fishing or being on the water all day. It's right on the water, so you can dock the boat right next to it, and grab a bite. Oyster Po Boy, fresh fried oysters and fresh bread! Great hush puppies!
This obviously isn't a restaurant, but if you haven't had a Krispi Kreme donut, you must stop here. The best time, of course, is when they take them right out of the oven.
Of course, if you are a low carb fanatic then you will just have to pass on this place. Any donut in the place.
After laying in the sunshine all day long, swimming, eating a meal which was more than we needed we decided to take one last look at the new Pensacola Beach Pier and then we came back home. To travel is great but to be back home and dream of my next travel is great also. Where???????
