Spring into Pensacola’s exciting festival season!
Without a doubt, spring is the best time of the year to visit Pensacola. Some of the reasons are obvious: The weather is absolutely gorgeous, perfect for enjoying the outdoors, surf, sand, window shopping, dining al fresco and open-air markets, while school is still in session, so traffic isn’t quite as heavy as it is in the summer months.
Gulf Islands National Seashore
Pensacola Beach and Perdido Key both are home to the longest stretch of federally protected seashore in the United States. You'll find endless opportunities for solitude and relaxation and miles of unobstructed views and access to the Gulf. A short hike, bike ride, or kayak trip always ensures a swath of beach, sans humans.
Multicultural Pensacola
Pensacola is called the “City of Five Flags” because five governments have ruled here, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Our culture is a jambalaya of flavors – Native American, African, Latin, European and Asian – each adding to the richness of our shared heritage.
