It hadn't quite recovered from the hurricane so much was closed; however, I was reminded not to take my home for granted...
In a nutshell
Nice, quiet, and simple beach. Nice weekend getaway!
Fort Pickens - Gulf Islands NS
Toughluck Says: This is a great place for kids. Keep an eye on them, but give them a little running space through the tunnels, and the open moat (no water). The ramparts are relatively staff, as there are parapets that the kids will stand behind the watch 'the enemy' - probably someone...
Mindy_J Says: There is the ocean of course & the pier. There is also a food stand that was pretty reasonable.
3 Reviews and 208 Opinions This is a very nice Hampton. It sits right on the beach and when I say right on the beach, I mean...

Dog House Deli: Best dogs ever
Angels1030 Says: Best hot dogs ever at a great price. Four sizes of dogs with any topping imaginable. And has sot buns! Can even enjoy with a beer.Great staff,too. Dogs
Dog House Deli: memorable hot dogs and more
gkitzmil Says: cute little local place that will fix any of FOUR basic hot dogs (I had the Kosher dog) with any of a large variety of toppings! They also have other items. Kosher dog with sauerkraut, chili, and cheese -- my style. Nevermind what I like they will do a footlong, a regular...
Flounders Chowderhouse: Only for Dinner
grandmaR Says: We wanted to have lunch out on Pensacola Beach to boost the economy after all the hurricane damage that they suffered, so we stopped here. But it turned out that they weren't open for lunch
Flounder's "chowder house": Seafood, Fun, and nearly a museum
gkitzmil Says: Great atmosphere with a LOT to look at from the real fishing boat to the actual raft that brought refugees from Cuba. Service was friendly but a bit slow by my standard for 'casual dining' and food was good. This seems to be the "other" local restaurant group as they own an...
Coral Beach: In The Heat of The Night
RoyJava Says: Some beaches are made of broken shells and red coral. Mostly of a reddish or pinky color. When you walk on a beach like this you can feel the coarseness of the sand under your feet, and hear the creaking of the coral skeleton sand, like walking on snow. These corals have...
Voyageuse30 Says: This is a cool bar right on the beach. You can drive there, walk there, or arrive by boat. When my then-fiance and I were there, it was eerily quiet (there was a recent hurricane). But I could tell that it would be a fun place to hang out at night-time when the weather's...
RoyJava Says: We flew from Miami to Pensacola, and went on by car ... yep, quite a drive for Europeans. Whether by car, RV, plane, bus or train, it's easy to get to Seaside and hard to leave, we got told. Recommended using one of the following airports to get into the area, and then...
islanderes, Alvins, Island Style: YES -- typical beach store merchandise
gkitzmil Says: these are the names of three stores that you could actually walk between. Typical beachware, shells, flags, and Island Style is smaller but with more unique items (I actually spent money in THIS one).
Post Office Seaside Florida: Sending A Seaside Postcard
RoyJava Says: The Pensacola Beach Pavilion, the streets lined with picket fences and wood villa-houses with porches and tin roofs, the Historical Museum, the Ruskin Place, the Holy Ghost Shell, the Red Coral Beach all create supremely satisfying photographs. So you can hardly take a bad...
RoyJava Says: The essence of Seaside is "slowing down" ... sharing time and creating memories with the people you love. Creating new ideas for fashion photography too! The relaxed atmosphere here took us in the mood of tranquility, peace and quiet ... and forced us to slow down (you...
RoyJava Says: Remember the villa is not yours! Yep,... villa (it's really too luxurious to be called a cottage) I wrote. People worked very hard planning, designing, and building their dream-houses at Seaside, see the results. Details played a big role and people wished for a joy to live....
grandmaR Says: The first bridge across Pensacola Bay was built in 1931 - a concrete drawbridge that connected Gulf Breeze to Pensacola. They replaced it in 1960. The first picture was taken in 1960 from the 1931 bridge of the 1960 bridge which is under construction next to it. The second...
Don't do the $25.00 beach rental
Mindy_J Says: Paying $25.00 for 8 hours for 2 chairs and an umbrella Do it only if your there for one day & you don't have a place to store it when you get back home. IT IS NOT WORTH IT!!! You are better off going across the road to the couple large tourist shops & picking up an...
Ghouls, Ghosts, Trolls Experience
RoyJava Says: A "troll", called "trulli" in Burton's "Anatomy of Melancholy", is a sort of earth-demon. The word "trull", a loose woman, grew from the same root; thus the "troll" was probably at first one of the pagan Hags or earth-priestesses.Norwegian folklore said "trolls" commonly sat...
Legend Of The Sand Dollar - Holy Ghost Shell
RoyJava Says: The "Sand Dollar" is really an unusual kind of marine life, and symbolize the Birth, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ."The outline is an Easter Lily with a 5 pointed star. It's the form of Bethlehem Star and ... ... ..."Read more and find these legendary words at the...
grandmaR Says: When we visited Pensacola Beach in 1959, the welcome center was in a dome structure which said "Pensacola Beach" on the side (4th photo). Now it is in a small aqua building (last photo). Instead of a dome there are blue water tanks wth dolphins painted on the side (third...
RoyJava Says: The refreshments in the refrigerator are compliments of Seaside. Please, leave the basket for the next guest ...What a great "welcome", included the Seaside Company who had provided an initial supply of soap and paper products for our convenience. The Green Bedroom housed...

Pensacola would be a fantastic place to hang out, once it bounces back from the devestation left behind by the hurricane.
