Pensacola Beach Lifestyle

Known by many nicknames (e.g. the “Western Gate to the Sunshine State”, and the “World’s Whitest Beach”), Pensacola Beach is the perfect location for buyers and vacationers that cannot get enough of the beach life. While connected to Pensacola in name and general location, the area truly is in a world all its own, evident in the seamless blend of natural and luxury elements typical of the area.

The abundance of good food cannot be overstated! Seafood is a favorite at places like The Grand Marlin and Peg Leg Pete’s, whereas Water Pig BBQ and Hemingway’s Island Grill offer casual menus and comfortable atmospheres.

Pensacola Beach is a must-visit for vacationers and locals looking to unwind in an area known for an average of 343 days of sunshine each year!

This area is also the perfect place to grab a drink and unwind, often with the sounds of live music. Bamboo Willie’s, a beachfront nightclub located on the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk is a perfect place to enjoy great local tunes. Sandshaker Lounge and the Island Culture Tiki Bar are great destinations for good, island fun. For those looking for more family-friendly outings, UFO’s Mini-Golf, Ice Cream & Arcade is a must-visit for visitors to the island.

For retail therapy, the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk offers many different shopping experiences from the fashionable to the practical. Options range from high-end shops like the Envie and Ardor boutiques, to Intercoastal Outfitters—there isn’t much you can’t find on the island!
