We have been coming to Pensacola for years and didn’t find this gem until this week. My daughter has been wanting to learn how to surf for a while and found this local place through google. We set up a private lesson and wish that we found them earlier. We would have gotten more lessons before leaving today! We definitely will call them again as soon as we are back in town. Highly recommend this place! Evans is wonderful with my kids!!

Stopped to checkout what Joe Patti had to offer. I could not believe the selection of fish and shell food they had for sale. In addition a bakery with wonderful looking deserts and a deli area with things like crab cakes. We are in the area for the entire month and plan to shop here at least once a month.
