What to do and see in Pensacola, Florida (FL): The Best Things to do Adventurous

May 10, 2022 Roseanne Arnett

If you're looking for some great Florida beaches but aren't necessarily interested in a mega-resort or theme park atmosphere, Pensacola might just be the place for your perfect weekend. Home to Gulf Islands National Seashore, the city offers some of the best fishing and boating in the area. Inland, canoeing enthusiasts won't want to miss the beauty of the Blackwater River. Closer to town, the city has a proud military heritage, which can be seen at attractions like the National Museum of Naval Aviation and the Pensacola Naval Air Station.

I booked our visit for my husband's 60th birthday! Age has no limit on fun! We had a very young couple. They were great kids to have been paired with. We had a blast, about 3 minutes to late to escape, but it was a blast! Next visit we’ll do the All Wired” Thank you for the team building and the fun it came with!

Pensacola Lighthouse & Maritime Museum

NOTICE TO GUESTS: We are located on Naval Air Station Pensacola. NAS Pensacola is currently open only to current DoD ID card holders and certain Veterans Health Identification Card holders. Unless sponsored through the Trusted Traveler program, no civilians will be granted access onto the base until further notice, and thus will not be able to access the Lighthouse. The Best View in Town! Climb 177 steps up the historic Pensacola Lighthouse for one of the most beautiful views on the Gulf Coast. Built in 1859, the lighthouse is located on board NAS Pensacola. The tower offers stunning views of Pensacola Bay, the Pensacola skyline, and the historic Navy Yard.

This is a must see and do in Pensacola. The lighthouse, keeper's house, and gift shop are well worth the effort to visit. And if one has the courage, a climb to the top of the lighthouse is offered. Beware, it is 19 stories tall. The museum is quite extensive and is house in the keeper's house. This is the tallest lighthouse on Florida's Gulf Coast. It is located on the Pensacola Naval Air Station, so visitors must present two forms of ID to enter.
