This island includes Gulf Shores Ntl Seashore, Pensacola Beach and many other beaches (Destin, Sandestin, Seaside, Panama City Beach, etc.). We will be back again and again and next time will stay at different points along the island. The white sand beaches are wonderful and stretch for miles and miles! More
