Preview: This pretty Florida Panhandle
resort town of 5,000, at the tip of the peninsula that separates Pensacola Bay from its barrier islands, has miles of
beaches on the Gulf of
Mexico. The town can trace its history back to 1936, when the Gulf Breeze Cottages and store opened on the narrow peninsula. Today its economy relies on the presence of the U.S. Navy and a vast range of recreational activities, including fishing, sailing, swimming, and diving, which draw tourists in large numbers. This chapter helps you plan a getaway in the Gulf Coast region. Inside you'll find information on what to see and do, dining, lodging, shoping, the outdoors, and how to get there.
