Famous for the world’s whitest, not to mention cleanest beaches and emerald green water of the Gulf of Mexico are just a few of the reasons so many people choose to make Pensacola beach their home. From miles of sugar white beaches to historic districts and museums, quiet, tranquil waters to exciting night life, Pensacola has something for everyone! Composed of 99 percent pure quartz, the sugar-colored sand covers over 40 miles of beachfront from Pensacola Beach to Perdido Key. You'll be dazzled by the color of the sea as well. The Gulf of Mexico is like a liquid emerald, alternately green and blue, a perfect companion and setting for the whitest beaches in the world. And Pensacola's temperate climate makes our beaches worth visiting any time of the year. Visit the Gulf Islands National Seashore, a series of natural harbors and waterways protected by a necklace of tiny islands. Hike across the same sand dunes that Spanish Conquistadors walked across hundreds of years ago. The Seashore is part of the National Park System and a wonderful way to enjoy nature. Allow me the privilage of helping to find your dream home along the beautiful beaches of Northwest Florida!

Rich Heritage
Founded over 400 years ago, Pensacola is a city proud of it's rich heritage. The North Hill Preservation District and Seville Historic District, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places, offer a glimpse of the past through beautifully restored neighborhoods. Shops, museums and turn-of-the-century architecture make for a delightful walk through Historic Pensacola Village. The newly renovated T.T. Wentworth, Junior, Florida State Museum houses historical exhibits and features Discovery!, a hands-on children's museum. Pensacola's history is unearthed every day at the Fort of Pensacola Archeological Trail Project, which will eventually display the remains of the forts that once protected colonial Pensacola.

Water Sports
Miles of shoreline and an abundance of sunshine provide the perfect setting for water sports and recreation. Deep sea fishing is easy to arrange with a fishing charter from one of several area marinas. Below the surface, snorkelers and scuba divers find the Gulf a warm host and marvel at the clarity of the water and the discoveries they can make just offshore. Resting in just 30 feet of water, the USS Massachusetts battleship recently designated Florida's fourth State Underwater Archeological Preserve. Jet skiing, boating and sail boarding are favorites in the protected waters of Pensacola Bay. Further inland, take the family for a canoe ride or tube down refreshing spring-fed waters at Adventures Unlimited.

Museums
History of a different sort is found at the National Museum of Naval Aviation where one of the largest collection of military aircraft and memorabilia is on display. The history of aviation is traced on a full-scale time line from 1911 to the Space Age. And the newly completed west wing which features a seven-story atrium where four blue angel skyhawks soar in a permanent diamond formation is something not to be missed. For a moving and thought provoking experience visit The Wall South, located at Veteran's Memorial Park, is the nation's first full-name replica of the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in Washington, DC. Other museums include the Pensacola Museum of Art and Quayside, the South's largest cooperative art gallery, feature works of local and regional artists.

Arts
The community's commitment to the arts is also apparent through the Pensacola Symphony, First City Dance, Kaleidoscope Dance Theatre and Pensacola Opera. The beautifully restored Saenger Theatre plays host to many of these events as well as to nationally known performers and touring companies.

Restaurants
Dining in Pensacola is a special treat. Restaurants offer a variety of menus and prices to suit both palate and pocket. Fresh seafood is available year-round and the "catch of the day" is often featured. Fresh beef, chicken and ethnic cuisine is not overlooked in the area with something to please everyone. At many restaurants, food and fun go hand in hand. Sing-alongs, dancing, and floor shows combine for a unique dining experience.

Special Events
While most of Pensacola's activities can be enjoyed year-round, special events highlight each season. The Pensacola JazFest is a perfect way to celebrate the arrival of Spring. The Fiesta of Five Flags is a month-long extravaganza of parades, parties and festivals honoring the founding and history of Pensacola. Fishing tournaments abound in the summer and the Blue Angles are always welcomed home with a spectacular air show. In the Fall, food is the main attraction at the Seafood Festival while the Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival attracts artists and visitors from throughout the South. Lights, decorations and an old-fashioned Christmas Walk usher in the holidays Pensacola style.
