Escambia Extension Park is a nice enough smaller park that puts an emphasis on disc golf…read more The park was quite busy with people enjoying playing disc golf and the course is well laid out. There is off-street parking, so that is definitely a plus. If you are into disc golf, I would definitely recommend here.

Pensacola Beach Gulf Pier is the pinnacle of Pensacola. If you want the real Gulf Coast experience,…read morethis is the spot. The pier stretches about 1,471 feet out into the Gulf, and the water is so clear you can see straight down like you're looking through glass. Schools of fish cruise by, anglers line the rails pulling up mackerel and pompano, and every once in a while you'll see something bigger glide through the blue. I've seen rays, sharks, and more fish than I could count swimming right below my feet. It feels like standing above a living aquarium. The original pier here dates back to the 1930s, but the modern one was rebuilt stronger in 1998 after storms took the earlier versions. Today it draws hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, and it's easy to see why. The beach is bright white, the water is emerald green, and the whole place has that laid-back Gulf magic. Walk the boards, feel the breeze, Watch the Gulf roll with ease, Fish below and sky above, Simple place you can't help but love. For me, this pier wasn't just a stop it was the highlight of the whole trip.

Yes, you need to pay to walk the pier. $2.25 per person. Seven dollars if you plan on fishing. Tons…read moreof people fishing off the pier. Lots of strict fishing rules so the pier didn't smell fishy and it was very clean. A fun walk to the end and back. The view of the beach is great.

Nice dog park, great amenities for kids. Plenty of picnic tables. The park is clean and safe.read more

Small but suitable dog park, amazing looking playground for the kids…read more I wouldn't go out of my way to bring my dog here but I might go out of my way to bringy nieces. Overall, a good stop if you're on this side of town (otherwise go to the dog parks in East Hill).

Historically ridden place. In the best way. There's a fort…read morehere. Actually. Unlike some other places the ruins here exist with old cannons and beautiful arched brick. We've not explored them and mainly visit for the beaches. Military can receive a free lifetime pass for national parks so the entry fee is waived here. I greatly appreciate. My husband loves to bike here. I love to come and see the Inlet. You can go to the Bayside or you can go to the Oceanside. There's also some older probably early 1900 homes scattered about the property from another iteration of its use. There's also I believe World War I one or World War II bunkers present here so this state Park has had many different lives and leaves quite a legacy. We've driven through the campgrounds which look really nice. And the stretch of golf here is substantial. You could definitely find a place to be all on your own if you were willing to walk. The facilities are nice. There are restrooms but parking can be limited at the beach lots on the gulf side when driving in. It's an extensive park and a very long stretch. The water is incredible. It's turquoise jello on the right days.

It is a beautiful stretch of beach there isn't much out there once you pass Peg Leg Pete's, but some designated areas to park for beach access, on the Gulf of Mexico side. You can see some remnants of the old Fort areas on the sound side, they are restricted areas, it's kinda of eerie, like time has stood still. Not a lot of people use this end of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, there is a unspoiled beauty about it. Untouched beautiful beachside paradise. There is a overnight camp/campground area, within the park, at the end near the Fort. It's a great place to camp while exploring the Gulf Islands National Seashore "Fort Pickens area." Highest Recommendations.

Listen for Red-breasted Nuthatches in fall in the uplands and Hermit Thrushes overwintering. At the water, Common Yellowthroats scold from brushy tangles and wading birds like Little Blue Herons and Least Bitterns are possible among the pitcher plants visible from the elevated boardwalk. Listen carefully for Barred Owl and Prothonotary and Hooded Warblers, all of which breed here. We went here to bird, but this is a must-see if you're into nature in any way, and in the area. The work someone did to build a first-rate boardwalk through a bog provides views rarely seen. They've also done a great job providing interpretative signage so you know what you're looking at. First rate facility -- except maybe for the restrooms. *** Directions: From the intersection of US 90/SR 10 and SR 87/Stewart St. in Milton, head north on SR 87/Stewart St. for 6.0 mi. following signs to NAS Whiting Field. Turn right (east) on CR 87A/Langley St. and go 1.0 mi. Turn left (north) at Magda Village, just before the entrance gate and proceed 0.2 mi. to the trailhead parking area. (Note: current construction activities may dictate that you must park and walk the 0.2 mi. to the trailhead). This area is part of a functioning military Naval Air Station and occasional noise from aircraft may occur. Access may be limited during times of elevated homeland security levels, so call in advance.

Not great water pressure though. Great place to camp. Clean bathrooms and really nice water pressure and hot water showers! The sign says no golf carts but there were plenty of them! The Outpost is a little store but they don't carry much except some drinks and you can rent some sleeping bags. It leaves the impression that so much more could be sold/rented there! I needed a 50 to 30 amp adapter for my power cord and the camp host (space #10) had an extra one to lend me. Sweeeet. Great couple. If i would suggest MWR improvements, i would say......fix the ice machine! Fix the coke machine! Add some items to rent/sell in the outpost (like firewood). No propane right now, don't know why. Boat wash needs a better hose. Still, we love the place.
