But if you are looking for an active, vibrant, historical setting, with access to world class beaches, Pensacola is the place to be!
Pensacola is a historical place. The first European colony was founded in Pensacola in 1559 and has been controlled by five countries over its long history. This unique mixture of cultures include the French, Spanish, English, as well as indigenous peoples. With the strong military presence from its beginning as a valuable port, Pensacola has attracted people from around the world and still does.
The most popular and notable military presence now days, is the Naval Air Station. The NAS is home to the world famous Blue Angels who perform at air shows around the country. But in Pensacola, their practices are open to the public anytime they are home! And their performance for their home town crowd is not to be missed come July every year. Check out information below on how to see them is practice or even a show!
The Nation Naval Aviation Museum is another reason to visit Pensacola! It is one of the world’s largest Naval Aviation museums and one of the most-visited museums in the state of Florida! And it is FREE!
But if military history is more your style, check out Fort Pickens! The National Park Service maintains the fort now, but it played an integral part for the Union during the Civil War.
But Pensacola and Pensacola Beach are more than just history and military forts! Here is a list of the Top 10 things to do in Pensacola!
Pensacola Beach has been a place for vacations for decades! Pensacola Beach has everything people want in a vacation spot on the water. Beautiful beaches, restaurants, outdoor and indoor activities and more are available year round.

Tiki House has 3 LP tanks in use at all times. Two of the tanks are attached to our huge event grill and one runs the gas stove in the kitchen. We generally provide enough propane to last every stay. But if the tank was near empty, we may leave an extra for you to replace if needed. Any extra tanks are located in the garage.

I don't know about you, but I love a GOOD hamburger. I'm not talking about Whataburger or McDonalds. Although I don't have a beef with a good chain burger, in a pinch. I'm talking about a real, prime beef, seared to perfection, made to order quality hamburger only found in either the finest restaurants or the deepest dive.
