6 Ways to Celebrate Mother's Day in Pensacola

Discover how to make Mom feel special in Pensacola this Mother's Day.

1. Rest and relaxation, preferably at the beach. Just unfold us a chair and let us be. Amen.

If you're looking to truly wind down and enjoy the day, there's no other place than the sugar white sands of the beaches of Pensacola. Give the gift to mom of not having to pack the car for the day and rent a beach chair and umbrella with Lazy Days Beach Rental. With over 40-miles of beaches between Pensacola Beach, Perdido Key, and the Gulf Islands National Seashore, we know you’ll be able to find a quiet spot. If you’re looking to gift outside the box, consider a boat rental for the day and escape to Sand Island, Fort McCree, or to one of our many boat-up restaurants.

2. Letting someone else make the bed for a morning or two

Nothing says Happy Mother’s Day like a good night’s rest, breakfast in bed, and a slow day. Lucky for you, the Pensacola Bay Area has no shortage of lovely lodging options. Downtown options like Lily Hall, Oyster Bay Boutique Hotel, and Celestine Bed & Breakfast offer luxe amenities within walking distance to all of the cool things to do downtown. If mom has been vying for a gulf-view luxury beach options like Portofino Island Resort and the Hilton Pensacola Beach are sure to keep her comfortable and happy.

6. Shopping without the interruption, thank you!

A little extra time to just wander around, pick up and hold, touch, and comment on every item we would just “absolutely love to have in our home,” without being rushed. We need this for our soul. Thank you, next.
