Enjoy the history of what Pensacola Beach has to offer. Inside of Fort Pickens at National Seashore you can enjoy the beautiful nature that this area has to offer. Beautiful white sand beaches and with a historical fort available for tours. And when the Blue Angels are practicing, you can enjoy a great view from the top of the fort!

Pensacola Beach has two designated dog parks on the gulf, open 7 a.m. until sunset in the summer and sunrise to sunset during winter months. The Pensacola Beach Dog Beach West is located along Fort Pickens Road at the first parking lot past the last condos on the Gulf. The Pensacola Beach Dog Beach East is located at Lot E on Via de Luna Drive, the first parking lot past Portofino Island Resort. All dogs are required to be on a leash at all times within both parks, and signs are posted to designate the dog-friendly areas. Doggie bags, disposable bins, and handy wipes are available at both locations.
And remember, when exiting all dog beaches, leave only foot and paw-prints behind.

If you like vegan food, then this is a must! Even if you don't, this is a fabulous restaurant. They offer a full menu. On Thursday nights/Sunday brunch they have a 3-course meal that includes soup, salad, main plate and dessert with tea/coffee. Mimosa and alcohol are an upgrade charge. One of the best restaurants around town!

Gallery Night is a neat destination that brings the community downtown the third Friday of every month. Each month they have a different theme. It is a great, fun, family experience.
Galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and bars open their doors to the night air as visitors and locals flood the streets to enjoy music, art, and cuisine. Café tables set out on brick sidewalks are the perfect place to enjoy a coffee or cocktail, as the sounds of live music and a spirited crowd fill the air. Families linger in the downtown parks, playing around the beautiful fountains and historic oaks.
It's the perfect chance to get an inside look at Pensacola's lively downtown sector and thriving art scene. Streets close to traffic at 5 p.m., but there is ample parking available on side streets. The party officially wraps up at 9 p.m., but most restaurants, bars, and local businesses extend their hours to promote the excitement of late night crowds.
