About Pensacola Beach

Pensacola Beach is a small Florida beach town of about 8 square miles on Santa Rosa Island that is primarily known for its beautiful white sand beaches. Pensacola Beach weather is more stable than mainland Florida, and the island town enjoys a soothing sea breeze in the afternoons that the mainland does not usually experience. The best time to visit is the summer when the weather is at its warmest and the Pensacola Beach Air Show is live. The Santa Rosa Sound is to the north of Pensacola Beach and the Gulf of Mexico is to the south, while the Gulf Islands National Seashore property is to both the east and west. Although small, Pensacola Beach has some of the tallest buildings between Mobile and Tallahassee, all of which are hotels or condos. Most are surprised to learn that Pensacola Beach was settled before better-known Jamestown and St. Augustine, making the town over 450 years old. Pensacola Beach is the perfect place for some quiet relaxation when you need it, but is close enough to other beach towns to offer all of the exciting Floridian vacation activities of a bigger destination. Pensacola Beach produces great memories time after time, which manifests in the hundreds of glowing vacation reviews online.
