    This isn't the same type of national park as Rocky Mountain National Park, but it is worth seeing. The south side of the park is a beautiful Gulf of Mexico beach. It is perfect for fishing, walking or doing whatever it is you usually do...More

    Quiet and unpopulated

    I was not a fan of this beach because there is nothing to do. No bars or restaurants and only one bathroom but it is beautiful and very uncrowded if thats your thing.

    So peaceful

    Besides the stunning beach there are also walking trails. Great place to spend the afternoon. Dogs welcome on the trails but not on the beach.

    Beautiful View!

    A little step away from the Pensacola life, island feel, cool breezes, great sun and beach time. A family must when traveling the coast.

    Usually they are first come first serve. But if someone is doing a wedding or something you will need to reserve it.
