BEACH ACTIVITIES
Reminiscent of a brilliant emerald on a strand of luminous pearls, the
beaches of Pensacola 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 Northwest Florida Panhandle 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 quarts 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.
Pods of stingrays migrate in
the early fall, and the often comical sea-gull is always around to provide
entertainment.
Pensacola’s beaches meander for miles along the
coastline, many of which are protected by law. For this very
reason many local parks such as Fort Pickens include campgrounds with showers and bathrooms
for all to enjoy.
The sun is also kind to vacationers and locals alike,
providing us with sunny days all year long! Pensacola beaches
area so inviting... simply irresistible!
