Outdoors
Relax in the sun, sand and waves! We have been ranked in the top 5 beaches to visit for several years. Most of our beach is part of Gulf Islands National Seashore and is therefore undeveloped. Stretches of white sea and sand go on for miles. The fun continues into the night with Glow Paddle! Paddle LED lighted kayaks over Pensacola Beach Sabine at Margaritaville.

Catch a broadway show, concert or movie at the Saenger Theater while in town. Located in the heart of downtown Pensacola, The Saenger Theatre has been called the Grand Lady of Palafox! Opened in 1925, its Spanish Baroque architecture took nearly thirteen months to complete.
Through a joint effort by the city of Pensacola and the University of West Florida, the theatre was restored and returned to its standing as a center for the performing arts. The restoration project took four-years and 1.6 million dollars to complete but in 1981 the theatre reopened and today is listed in the National Register of Historic sites.
