Perdido Key Information

Perdido Key, Florida is a small city located on the very northwest edge of Florida between Pensacola and Orange Beach, Alabama. Perdido Key is the west-most beach in the state of Florida and also one of the most beautiful beaches on the Gulf Coast. The word “perdido” means lost in Spanish and you can get that kind of feel on this vacation, feeling relaxed in a beach city that moves at a slower pace.

There are some great natural areas on Perdido Key to visit as well as fun options to get in the ocean and experience boat and fishing tours. Perdido Key is home to the beautiful Big Lagoon State Park. This fantastic little park is only one square mile, but you wouldn't know it's so small from its many amenities. Hiking and bird watching are the main attractions, and you can also camp, fish, picnic, and canoe around the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. You can also experience the Johnson Beach State Park, located on the eastern end of the island and part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. It’s a beautiful and very peaceful and quiet beach and is great to visit. If you’re interested in fishing, Perdido Key offers some great fishing charters like All Jack’d Up Charters run by a man who goes by Captain Jack and it’s a lot of fun and great for all ages.

Even better, kids under 17 get to play free. Perdido Bay Golf Club is another great public course that is very well-maintained and eludes Florida-style golf.

The best day trip from Perdido Key is to spend a day in Pensacola. It’s a historic beach city just a 30-minute drive and there are plenty of great things to do to fill up your day.
