Neighborhoods

Don't just go to the main beach (where the giant beach ball water tower is at). Venture out either way and find the less-traveled beautiful beaches of Pensacola. There are many smaller areas with facilities and parking spaces if you go right or left at the main beach.

The beach is great during the day, but in the evening if you wan to go out, go downtown! It's just a few minutes away and only $5 Uber/Lyft. You can eat, drink and just stroll around all night.
