Pensacola Florida Located in the Florida Panhandle, close to the Alabama border, Pensacola offers short mild winters with temperatures that rarely fall below 60 degrees. Pensacola Beach is the hub of Santa Rosa Island, first discovered centuries ago by Spanish conquistadores. Santa Rosa Island offers miles of unspoiled white sand, blue-green water, numerous restaurants, and a taste of history. Sun-seekers can mix and mingle at popular beaches or, if they prefer, they can claim isolated stretches of sand for themselves. Motorboats, sailboats, surfers and windsurfers coexist easily in the Gulf and bays while parasailers float overhead and fishermen try their luck from sea and shore. Shopping is terrific at downtown Pensacola specialty shops - trolleys take you to the best spots. Stop at one of the wonderful coffee shops, cafes or eateries for lunch, or just an afternoon latte. The downtown area showcases wonderful art galleries featuring both local and regional art, as well as traveling exhibits in the Pensacola Musuem of Art. If antique shopping entices you, antique stores and flea markets pepper the area from the elegant to the eclectic. Pensacola is a wonderful, historic city. Geronimo was once a guest along with many of his wives at Fort Pickens, which is located at Pensacola Beach. 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. 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 future generations to admire. Pensacola and Escambia County is home to nearly 400,000 residents, many of our neighbors are either active military, students, teachers or retired. We have some of the lowest priced waterfront (beach, river and canal) homes in Florida. Unlike many Floridian areas homes on large lots, sometimes several acres with waterfront, can be purchased for less than $350,000. For recreation Pensacola offer fresh water bass fishing, golf, 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, and IMAX theatres where you fly with the Blue Angels. You can have it all when you decide to relocate and fall in love with this magnificent city on the Gulf of Mexico. |
