Welcome to one of the most beautiful destinations along the Emerald Coast!! Pensacola is where I was raised from age 4 and very proud to call home! We are a growing city with beautiful white sand beaches and home of the US Navy Blue Angels!! I hope you find this guide helpful and I hope to continuously update it with new information. We have separated it between two locations...Downtown Pensacola and Pensacola Beach. You can typically be from one city to another in about 20 minutes or less. They both have wonderful restaurants and attractions to enjoy. Feel free to ask any questions along the way.
