Hit the beach   This is why you’re here right, the sugary white sand and crystal clear water of the Gulf of Mexico in Navarre Beach and Pensacola Beach is unmatched!  There is just over 27 miles of beach along the Gulf of Mexico to explore.  Finding the beach a little crowded, check out the many beach access points along the Gulf Islands National Seashore for a more remote feel, the drive alone is worth it! Be sure to swim safely and watch the lifeguard flags for swimming conditions.
