Located at the edge of the Florida Panhandle, Pensacola is easy to get to and remains one of the last places to experience Florida the way it used to be. We are a growing community rich in history and natural resources. The area offers a diversity of cultural amenities found in much larger cities while still retaining its wonderful southern charm and more relaxed pace of a mid-sized community. Pensacola is also three hours from New Orleans, four hours from Atlanta and has more than 40 nonstop flights to major cities. We also have the I-10 Interstate corridor that reaches coast to coast.
Residents and tourists alike are drawn here by the alluring emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Do not forget about our beautiful Pensacola Bay and the many lakes and rivers. Our waters are perfect for sailing, fishing, snorkeling, relaxing or anything your heart desires. Pensacola truly is the American South.
