Pensacola and Pensacola Beach, Florida
Pensacola and Pensacola Beach are towns in the panhandle which we have spent a lot of time exploring on multiple visits. We enjoyed walking around downtown and on the beach. Places we enjoyed: McGuires (amazing food, beer, and atmosphere - our top restaurant choice in Pensacola), Another Broken Egg (great brunch), The Dock, Crabs, Sidelines, Sandshaker, Paddy O’ Leary’s, Riptides, Old Hickory Whiskey Bar (excellent drinks and bartenders), 5 Barrel Brewery (our favorite brewery in Pensacola), Fin and Fork (yummy oysters rockefeller), Pensacola Bay Brewery, and Hub Stacey’s. Quaside Art Gallery is an amazing art gallery with a variety of art from many local artists at affordable prices.
Nearby is Gulf Islands National Seashore and Fort Pickens State Park. The beaches are beautiful and undeveloped. Fort Pickens was a unique and educational experience.
