It can get hot during the Summer, just remember sun screen.
In a nutshell
Southern hospitality, good swimming, good fishing, good boating, but very humid.
T. T. Wentworth Florida State Museum
yooperprof Says: Originally opened in 1907 as Pensacola's City Hall, this structure is in the Alamo Mission style, somewhat incongruous amid the creole buildings of Penacola's old quarter. T.T. Wentworth was a local eccentric, philanthropist, and collector of miscellany. The museum is an...
Historic Pensacola Village - the Dorr House
yooperprof Says: An organization called "Historic Pensacola Village" offers guided tours of four beautifully preserved Pensacola houses, including this one, the 1871 Dorr House. The house is associated with the first woman who lived in it and decorated it, Clara Barkley Dorr (1825-1899)....
yooperprof Says: Fort Pickens is a historical military site located within the Gulf Islands National Seashore. It was originally constructed in the late 1820s/early 1830s, with the purpose of protecting the entire Pensacola harbor - which at the time included the most signicant port east of...
National Museum of Naval Aviation
basstbn Says: Pensacola's top attraction, in my mind, and worth a visit even if you don't happen to be "into" aircraft or warfare.On display are more than 150 aircraft of all types, from early bi-planes to helicopters to the most powerful carrier-based jet fighters. All have been...
basstbn Says: The first lighthouse in the Pensacola area was built in 1824 and was located about a mile and a half to the east of this current location. By the 1850s it became apparent the original lighthouse was inadequate (too short and the light too dim), so congress approved...
National Memorial to Missing Children
basstbn Says: At Hawkshaw Lagoon Memorial Park, a thought-provoking memorial to missing children.Sam Nettles' evocative sculpture, "The Sanctuary," located on a foot bridge spanning the lagoon, is the centerpiece of the memorial.
basstbn Says: The Memorial Park was not on our "to-do" list for Pensacola, but we noticed it soon after entering town (coming from Pensacola Beach and Gulf Breeze) and stopped for a look. The park was conceived by, and maintained by, area Vietnam war veterans. I like the idea of a single...

Scenic 90 Cafe: Classic Diner with a 1950s feel
yooperprof Says: I like old diners and this one definitely feels like a time machine that will transport you back to the days of President Eisenhower, the early days of Elvis - and that bizarre thing called "Sputnik". Good solid reliable breakfast with efficient and pleasant table service.
FlyForFood Says: I chose the Yellow Fin Tuna off of the "Fresh Seafood" Menu and requested it blackened. I even asked the server ahead to verify that it was "fresh" and not "frozen". She verified that it was "fresh". I also ordered a beverage called "Diesel" which is priced at $7.99.Once the...
McGuire's Irish Pub: An Irish Gem
Brijb20 Says: It doesn't seem that VT consider pubs as nightlife. Well I do. We don't all require night clubs and dancing.This is a very traditional looking Irish Pub open from 11am 7 days a week.They brew their own beer on the premises and have 5 regular beers from Light to Irish Stout....
McGuires Irish Pub: Any night of the week
PA2AKgirl Says: They have live music on the weekends in the winter and every night in the summer (I'm told, I have not been there every night of the week, though) And it's Irish music--I've been up on stage singing "The Unicorn" and "Beer, Beer, Beer" and some other stuff I'm sure. It's a...

lil_wings Says: Every year in Pensacola, they have the annual weiner dog races to raise money for the Dachsund Rescue Foundation. Dachshund owners from around the area show up to drag race their dogs in various heats based off weight class. Some race well, others veer off the course a...
yooperprof Says: Historic house from the early 1800s that is said to be Pensacola's oldest building still in its original location. Desiderio Quina was not the original owner, but he is earliest resident of whom there is record. He purchased the property in 1821 and operated an apothecary...
Historical Marker for the 1559 Luna Expedition
yooperprof Says: Down in the harbor this historical marker commemorates the 450th anniversary of the first Spanish ship to visit Pensacola Bay. In 2009, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain took part in the official celebration of the Luna Expedition. "In 1559, an expedition led by...

yooperprof Says: Overlooking Escambia Bay, Bay Bluffs Park is located on US 90 within the city limits of Pensacola. An intricate series of staircases and plank trails leads down the hillside. Interesting dense vegetation and attractive views of the expanse of water.
