Pensacola Vacations

Famed American writer and naturalist, Henry Beston so sagely stated “the three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach.” Few places can offer the opportunity to experience earth’s harmonious melodies quite like Florida’s Gulf Coast. And, Travelocity’s Pensacola vacation packages can put you right in the heart of nature’s trifecta of triumphant tones. Drift into sweet slumber to the pitter-patter of raindrops tapping against the window pane of your beach-side cottage. Let the breeze be your soundtrack while you explore the Yellow River Marsh Preserve State Park. And, allow the rhythm of the waves crashing upon the sandy shore to serve as the backbeat for your sun-soaked daydream afternoon. The sounds of your vacation in Pensacola will transport you to a simpler time—a time when nature was uncompromised by man’s interference, a time when the only interrupting noise was the chirp of a songbird or the voice of your loved-one whispering sweet-nothings in your ear. And, when you bundle your travel and accommodations together in one of Travelocity’s Pensacola package deals, you might also hear a faint sound of “cha-ching” as your eyeballs turn into excited dollar signs.

Pensacola Hotels

Your beach vacation near Pensacola can be made all the more rewarding by finding the proper hotel. Spending a few minutes to research some of the more popular accommodations around town is a wise move. The following are some of our favorite hotels in Pensacola that can be a part of your vacation package:

• Hampton Inn Pensacola Beach Hotel – Not only is this affordable beach hotel situated right on the sand, it is also just steps away from the Pensacola Beach Pier and one block from Fishing Bend on English Navy Cove, making the Hampton Inn ideal for those who prefer to while away their time trying to lure the evening’s dinner with a baited hook. After you’ve netted your catch, unwind with a cocktail on the balcony of your oceanfront guestroom.
• Quality Inn & Suites – Situated on Butcherpen Cove in Pensacola Bay, the Quality Inn & Suites is in a great location if your plans take you from the city to the beach. You can walk from your room to the local dive center for a day under the water, or rent a jet-ski for some fun above the surf. Your busy day will be rewarded with a sound night’s sleep in your comfortable guestroom or suite.
• Margaritaville Beach Hotel – If you are searching for a true destination hotel where you can lay back and savor every minute of your stay like a salt-rimmed tequila cocktail, look no further than Margaritaville. With the silky sand at its feet, the hotel boasts daily entertainment, an on-site beach bar, stand-up paddleboard and beach cruiser rentals, and a therapeutic spa.
• Hilton Pensacola Beach – Contemporary, upscale, and luxurious, the Hilton Pensacola Beach offers every amenity you may need to create a memorable Gulf Coast experience. Start the day off with a cup of coffee from your private gulf-front balcony, then stroll along the shoreline before spending some time with a novel on a pool-side lounge chair. Enjoy an adventurous meal at the Bonsai Sushi Bar, then hit the town for an evening in one of the U.S.’s top-5 beach cities.

Major Attractions

Pensacola vacations are the perfect opportunity to stretch your wings and seek wisdom in a new place. Each town, city, or region you visit has its own lore, and Pensacola is no different. Take a leisurely stroll back in time at the Historic Pensacola Village where you can tour over 20 properties and self-guided museums. Enjoy a pristine strip of sandy serenity at the Fort Pickens Gulf Islands National Seashore—you won’t find a better place to count the clouds as they float across the vast Florida sky. Speaking of the sky, be sure to visit the National Naval Aviation Museum where you can see more than 4,000 artifacts and observe over 150 restored aircraft. You might even catch a glimpse of the world-famous Blue Angels.

Annual Festivals and Events

The event calendar in Pensacola is full of fun festivals, signature shows, and sensational celebrations. The FooFoo Festival is as unique as any local fete we have ever found. The diverse combination of art, culture, and cuisine features everything from open-air opera to a Big Green Egg cooking competition. The Summer Music Series fills the sunset-sky with the sounds of free live-music at this weekly outdoor concert. As the summer winds down, the flavors heat up at the Pensacola Seafood Festival where 100,000 of your closest friends come together for three days to celebrate the bounties of the Gulf. Finally, the city’s premier event—the Blue Angel Homecoming Show—celebrates the area’s Naval aviation history every November with the Blue Angels performing their aerial acrobatics for all to see.
