PENSACOLA TRAVEL INFORMATION

Historic Crowne Plaza Room Block

 

The Gulf Coast region's present day identity draws upon Native American, European, African, and American influences absorbed through thousands of years of indigenous occupation and over four-hundred and fifty years of European and American settlement. Throughout the past four centuries, ownership of Pensacola changed hands between the Spanish, French, British, American, and Confederate governments on eight separate occasions leaving behind a legacy of multiculturalism evident through the architecture, names, cuisine, and people of the region. In more recent years, Pensacola's location along the Gulf Coast provided an ideal space for the United States Navy to experiment with advances in human flight, lending to the city's alternate nickname, the Cradle of Naval Aviation.

One of the most historic cities in America, Pensacola's incredible past is only rivaled by its equally amazing natural beauty. Nestled between the sugar white beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and the dense pine forests of Northern Florida, Pensacola offers visitors opportunities to explore underwater treasures, wetlands, inland waterways, old growth forests, and much more.

We hope that your time in Pensacola is spent exploring the myriad unique opportunities the region has to offer. We are confident that once you experience our fair city, you will come to know it as we do, "The western gate to the Sunshine State, where thousands live the way millions wish they could!"
