Pensacola Beach Beachs
Reminiscent of a brilliant emerald on a strand of luminous pearls, Pensacola beaches are unrivaled in natural beauty. “When I first set eyes
on the Gulf of Mexico, I gasped! I had never seen anything so beautiful” said a one time visitor but now a local.
The beaches of the emerald coast have many unique attributes that shine above other vacation destinations. For example, the sugary-white, powder-soft
sand is no ordinary sand. Its amazing color comes from millions of tiny Appalachian quartz that have filtered down from the mountains through the
Apalachicola River. It is this spectacular stone, ground to a perfect oval in each grain, which makes the sand “squeak” when you walk on it.
The natural foliage is a delightful blend of delicate sea-oats, wildflowers, scented magnolias, sand pines and various palms. Many artists have tried
to capture this distinctive mix of sub-tropical plant life, but nothing truly matches nature’s handiwork.
An impressive array of marine life can be found at any time of year. Dolphins frolic year round in the Gulf, bays and bayous, while sea turtles nest
between April and November.
The sun is also kind to vacationers and locals alike, providing us with an astonishing average of 343 sunny days per year! Destin’s Emerald Coast is
so inviting... simply irresistible!
