Heading east of Pensacola,

with an unprecedented combination
of beautiful weather, great
beaches, activities and events.
Rated the No. 1 resort on Florida’s

This is a beautiful time of
the year to visit the beaches of
northwest Florida and eastern
Alabama. Fall temperatures are in
the ’70s and ’80s during the day
and the ’50s and ’60s overnight.
This kind of weather is perfect
for the beach, sports and all of the
nature that the area has to offer. If
you are in town during October,
check out the 7th annual Beaches
to Woodlands Tour of Santa Rosa
County. Numerous events are
ongoing throughout the month;
check out the website to find out
what’s happening during your
visit. There’s even have a Foliage
Zip Line Tour available all month
at Adventures Unlimited.
As you can see, the region
has plenty to offer, and everyone
is ready to deliver an exceptional
vacation experience. The situation
that occurred in the Gulf
earlier this year was unfortunate
and has certainly had a negative
impact on travel to the area,
but the reality is that the coast
is clear, everything is fine and
now would be a perfect time for a
relaxing and memorable visit.
