Find and Compare Pensacola Beach Hotels

Sometimes the urge to make a quick getaway to a far-off destination becomes too much to bear. It tugs at you like a horseshoe magnet pulls at a resistant piece of metal. And when you finally give in to the temptation, you envision a place with swaying palm trees, pearl-white sand, and aquamarine ocean water. A place where the water currents and offshore breezes carry your inhibitions away. You’ll find all that and more in Pensacola. Located in Florida’s panhandle, this coastal town is more than perfect for your next vacation. Why? Because you can lay out on the beach until you’re properly bronzed and catch a musical act in Olde Seville Square. And our Pensacola beach hotels will be the perfect place to unwind after a long day.

What are some fun activities to do near the beach in Pensacola?

Just because this is a beach town, doesn’t mean the only must-do on your agenda is lying around on the sand, soaking in the sun. Make your way to Naval Air Station Pensacola and take a walk through the National Museum of Naval Aviation. Dedicated to the flight history of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, this dazzling display of military aircraft includes planes like a Curtiss Model E, Grumman Wildcat, and an F-14 Tomcat. If you ever dreamed of taking the controls of one of America’s foremost flying machines, take a seat in the motion based simulator and top out at Mach 4, figuratively speaking of course.

When you’re ready to step back in time, a self-guided tour through Historic Pensacola Village will have you feeling like a settler in the 1800s. Before venturing through the old-time settlement, learn the history of state’s panhandle at the T. T. Wentworth Jr. Florida State Museum. Once your knowledge well is full, you’ll be ready for a stroll through the Julee Cottage and Tivoli House. After your travels back in time are over, come back to the present day when you put your feet up back at one of our Pensacola hotels on the beach.

Where are the best beaches to visit in Pensacola?

This stretch of coastline is littered with postcard beaches ready for you and your towel to sprawl out on. All you have to do is know where to go:

• Pensacola Beach: Let’s start out with the city’s main beach located on Santa Rosa Island. If you happen to be staying at the Beach Club Resort Residence and Spa you’re in luck because you’ll only be steps away from the breathtaking beauty of this stretch of sand. Go for a walk along the Quietwater Beach Boardwalk where plenty of retail shops, restaurants, and nightclubs are located.
• Perdido Key State Recreation Area: Even though there has been major development in the area, this jewel of natural beauty is still relatively untouched. Spend the day on this pristine strand and keep your eye out for wildlife like leatherback sea turtles and brown pelicans.

The warm ocean breezes and soothing waters of the Atlantic Ocean fit into your travel itinerary nicely. And you know what else does? A stay at one of Travelocity’s Pensacola beachfront hotels like the Sole Inn and Suites that’s what. We can’t wait to hear about your adventures in the Sunshine State.
