The BEST beaches in the state as far as I am concerned. Plenty of parking, clear water and miles of gulf to walk or swim. There was plenty of room to social distance. If you come in from downtown Pensacola you will be charged $1 to get across the bridge.

It is a wonderful uncrowned beach! You can choose to swim on the bay or ocean! We would just go between the two! We went everyday of our vacation. The sunsets are beautiful. A gem of a place.

Drive to Ft Pickens and find a wonderful beach free of crawds! Eagles, turtles, butterflies, and Blue Angels all in one place-- this is a unique piece of America that we can thank the National Park system for preserving.

Great to stop along the road and watch the ocean! Especially if it is a windy, cold day when you don't want to be outside
