Known as Lost Island, Perdido Key Beach is paradise found. This laid-back land of lullaby stretches from Pensacola to Alabama, exuding a warm Cajun charm.
Parks and preserves make up 61 percent of the land, making the key one of the most natural and beautiful spots in the state to explore. As you walk the pristine white beaches, the scent of wild rosemary growing on the dunes above fills the air. On the water, a variety of activities await, including fishing, snorkeling, surfing, jet skiing, parasailing and canoeing and kayaking along the lagoons and bayous.

For a bit of history visit the ruins of Forts McCrae, Pickens and Morgan, which were key protectors of the southern U.S. coastline in the Spanish-American and Civil wars. Nearby is the popular diving site of the USS Massachusetts shipwreck. The ship was sunk here after nearly 100 years of duty.

Great festivities throughout the year include seafood festivals, fishing tournaments, air shows, triathlons, Mardi Gras and PGA tournaments held at Lost Key Island Resort's Arnold Palmer signature golf course. |

Northwest Florida Overview
By Dr. Brian R. Rucker |
|
|
The “Forgotten Florida” is that stretch of the Sunshine State from Pensacola east to almost Tallahassee. In olden days, it was a sparsely populated region of thick pine forests, with the old colonial city of Pensacola acting as its hub.

Free and Easy in Pensacola
By Chelle Koster Walton |
|
|
With beaches as secluded or activity-packed as you wish, history in a fun sense and things that go whoosh and boom in the sky, Pensacola presents a whole new side of Florida that families will never forget (and budgets will never regret).
