Imagine
mild winters of three months or less. Temperatures that rarely let snow
stick more than mere moments to our beautiful St. Augustine turf.
Imagine 99% pure quartz, snow-white beaches where sugar fine sands sift
gently beneath your footsteps as you stroll along the nation’s most
beautiful coastline.
Pensacola, in Escambia County, is also known as the Cradle of
Naval Aviation. Amongst our citizens of nearly 400,000 in Escambia
County alone, many of our neighbors are either active military,
students, teachers or retired.
What a wonderful city to learn the history of our great nation. Geronimo
was once a guest along with many of his wives at Fort Pickens, which is
located at Pensacola Beach. Our museums tell wonderful accounts of a
city proud to be known as the City of Five Flags. When touring the
downtown area, many of the nations who have tried to hold Pensacola for
their own, have left indelible marks on our architecture from French, to
Spanish and British….we have it all. The majestic Live Oaks were
sought by many a sailing firm during the era of beautiful handcrafted
sailing craft and now are protected in their natural habit for
generations to admire.
Fresh water bass fishing, deer season,
big bill fishing, snorkeling near sunken freighters or old sailing ships
lost to hurricanes of the 1800’s, tons of arts & crafts festivals
year around, IMAX theatres where you fly with the Blue Angels. You can
have it all when you visit and fall in love with this magnificent city
by the Gulf of Mexico.
