The 10 Best Things to do in Perdido Key, Florida (FL)
Perdido Key, which means “Lost Key” in Spanish is a narrow strip of white beaches and aquamarine waters where beachcombing, fishing and sailing are ways of life not just recreation choices. Perdido Key’s unspoiled beaches are the island’s main attractions. Undulating wind built sand dunes are dotted with sea oats, bunch grass and beach grass. Venture to the eastern end of the island to the Gulf Islands National Seashore where swimming, snorkeling, fishing, boating, bird watching and hiking are popular pastimes. Tee time, anyone? Two exceptional golf courses are easily accessible, the Perdido Bay Golf Club, a links style course, and Lost Key, a target-style design fashioned by Arnold Palmer designated as an Audubon Signature Cooperative Sanctuary golf course. Other preferred activities on Perdido Key include dolphin watching excursions, moonlight cruises and sailing tours. Perdido Key is also known for its out-of-the-ordinary celebrations such as the New Year’s Polar Bear Dip and the Interstate Mullet Toss. For a non-stop celebration, drop by the legendary Flora-Bama Lounge on Perdido Key, a beachside oyster bar, beach bar and Gulf Coast cultural landmark. Pensacola is located only 15 miles from Perdido Key offering a wealth of day trip options to attractions like Historic Pensacola Village, the National Museum of Naval Aviation, Pensacola Lighthouse and Museum and Fort Pickens, a fort built in 1834 and once occupied by federal troops during the Civil War.

Stopped to pick up fresh seafood to take back to Iowa because any seafood you order in the Midwest just isn’t the same! We bought 7 lbs of royal red shrimp and 4 lbs of grouper filets to freeze and transport back in a cooler. Excellent quality at great prices and the staff are very friendly and helpful! We also bought seafood corn chowder and Cajun clam dip to eat while we were here. Everything tasted so good! Glad we found this treasure!

Arnold Palmer signature course challenges all golfers.
Reviewed By dougnsandys - Bloomer, United States
Really nice course with greens that were among the best I’ve ever played. They are large, plush and roll true. It’s a very tight course with lots of waste areas, so I recommend hitting it straight or bring plenty of balls. There are 5 or 6 tee boxes, so you can pick one that fits your skill level. I’m 68 and finally put my pride aside and moved up to the senior tees, boy what a difference. Staff is friendly and helpful.
