2020 Perdido Key Area Guide & Business Directory | Share your experience with #perdidokeylife

Past, present, and future. Everything we accomplished as

a community comes from the lessons we have learned

from the past, being in the present, and having a

vision for what our future will be as a community.

As we look to our past, we see the old community

of Gulf Beach. A quaint and quiet little village with miles of

unspoiled, untouched Beach. The beach was a playground for all who

wanted to get away from it all and enjoy the peace and tranquility this

secluded island brought. A few developments and businesses took the nation

by storm and placed this sleepy little beach on the map, such as the completion of

the famous Eden Condominiums and Flora-Bama. Coquina Village was the heartbeat of this

community and served as a centralized area where all could shop, dine, and spend time.

Being in the present, we see the community progressing and thriving! Learning from the past,

we have become more resilient in the wake of natural and human-made disasters such as the BP oil

spill. We have grown quite a bit and now have a few more mom & pop shops, bars, and restaurants

in the area. All invest so much time, energy and passion into this community to ensure every visitor,

employee, or community member feels like they

are home. Snowbirds, Summer visitors, and

Military members have become extended family

members. Each year our community and extended

family come together to preserve and protect

this amazing piece of paradise. All to ensure the

Perdido community stays a playground for all who

want to live, work, and play in true paradise!

NO MATTER IF YOU ARE A

LOCAL, VISITOR, BUSINESS

OWNER OR PROSPECTIVE

RESIDENT, THERE IS ALWAYS

A NEED TO HELP PROGRESS

THIS VISION AND MISSION.

As we look forward to a bright and exciting

future, there are some incredible things in store! With the community developed Master Plan in

motion, the addition of a multi-use path and enhanced crosswalks are just around the corner. Vital

programs will come to fruition to help preserve the balance of natural beauty and wildlife to this

island. Our community has organically created a mission to still be a playground for all to enjoy while

continuing our cohesive balanced relationship with our natural and stunning yet fragile wildlife.

Whether you are a business, resident, visitor, retiree, or military member here on orders, Perdido

will be one of the communities that will always feel like home. Soon with the ability to take a walk

down Perdido Key Drive and visit your favorite restaurant, cross the road to soak in a sunset, or

even bike down a natural trail to be more in tune with the amazing wildlife here in our backyard.

No matter if you are a local, visitor, business owner or prospective resident, there is always a need

to help progress this vision and mission. Stop by the chamber and talk with the staff, volunteer for an

event, or even join a committee! Every conversation matters in bringing this community forward!

PERDIDO KEY

PERDIDO KEY IS HOME TO ONE OF THE

BEST-KEPT SECRETS ON THE GULF COAST.

PHOTO BY ANNE WEIMER

WHAT’S IN A NAME

Perdido Key’s literal translation

means “Lost Key”, so named

by the early Spaniards

who discovered it in 1693.

Explorers had heard of a great

mysterious body of water in-between

Pensacola and Mobile, but they were

unable to find the entrance. Even after

locating the mouth of the bay, they were

unable to find a waterway deep enough

to sail through. According to legend,

a ship led by cartographer, Carlos de

Sigüenza y Góngora had been blown

off course as he was again searching for

the pass into the deep inland waters.

TODAY, PERDIDO KEY REMAINS

A UNIQUE COMMUNITY WHERE

LOCALS AND TRAVELERS FROM

AROUND THE WORLD COME TO

“GET LOST” ON THE NARROW STRIP

OF SNOW WHITE BEACHES AND

CRYSTAL BLUE WATERS.

The ship was spotted by an Indian chief

camped with his tribe at Bear Point. As

the chief was walking next to the water,

he spotted Sigüenza attempting to reef

his sails. He offered to guide Sigüenza

and his men to a connecting deep

water channel from the Gulf of Mexico

into the more tranquil bay. When the

search party finally located the elusive

bay, they called it Perdido, which in

Spanish means “lost” or “hidden”.

Today, Perdido Key remains a

unique community where locals

and travelers from around the world

come to “get lost” on the narrow strip

of snow white beaches and crystal

blue waters. An unincorporated

community in Escambia County

between Pensacola, Florida and

Orange Beach, Alabama- the barrier

island community is the Gulf Coast’s

premier island getaway for northwest

Florida and southeast Alabama.

wide in most places, Perdido Key

stretches about 16 miles (26 km) from

the Theo Baars Bridge in Pensacola

to the Perdido Pass Bridge in Orange

Beach. Almost 60 percent of the island

is protected by federal and state parksmaking

it one of the last remaining

unblemished stretches of natural

beach & wilderness on the coast.

The community of Perdido is a

unique area covering both Florida and

Alabama. Because of this, Perdido

is the perfect area for daytrips both

to and from the island. Consisting

of beach communities such as

Perdido Key, Orange Beach & Gulf

Shores, AL; agricultural areas such

as Lillian, AL & Beulah, FL; and

a few Florida urban communities

such as Warrington, Navy Point,

Belleview, and Downtown Pensacola.

OUR COMMISSIONER

PHOTO BY AMANDA SOPER

Welcome home. Whether you are here for a

week or forever, you are home when you

are on Perdido Key. From the first time

you set foot on the island, it has a way

of taking up residency in your soul. If

you are a visitor I would try to warn you that, before you

know it, that space in your soul will be a lot bigger than

you thought. You will find that your mind wanders back

to Perdido Key no matter where you are. I would try to

warn you, but why bother? Embrace it and give yourself

a little knowing smile...you have found the Lost Key.

You could not have come home at a better time. 2020 will see

a lot of activity on the island. We have spent years securing our

environment and our wildlife, implementing protections against

rampant development and ensuring the resiliency of the natural

and built environments. We

have developed and secured

natural corridors throughout

the island that will protect us

form the fate of so many of

our neighbor communities,

whose development has

choked out their natural

beauty. More work remains

to achieve the mandates of

the Habitat Conservation

Plan, but the progress we

have made ensures we will

never backslide.

Now we are beginning

a period of emphasis on

building the environment

FROM THE FIRST TIME

YOU SET FOOT ON

THE ISLAND, IT HAS

A WAY OF TAKING UP

RESIDENCY IN YOUR

SOUL. IF YOU ARE A

VISITOR I WOULD TRY

TO WARN YOU THAT,

BEFORE YOU KNOW IT,

THAT SPACE IN YOUR

SOUL WILL BE A LOT

BIGGER THAN YOU

THOUGHT.

for the people who call the island home. Expect to see

improvements to our traffic on the island, like a traffic circle

at Johnson Beach Road and additional parking options. We

want you to “park once and play all day” on Perdido, and this

year we are breaking ground on the The Perdido Key Multi Use

Path. This is the backbone of the walkability and accessibility

objectives of the Perdido Key Master Plan, and your passport to

all that the island has to offer. You are home when you are

here...get out and explore it!

With crosswalks throughout the island it’s better

to be safe than sorry, make sure to cross at the

walk. Be sure to push the button to activate

the cross walk. Use lights for motorist to see

if crossing at night and keep the traditional

crossing method of looking right, left and then

right again when crossing the street.

CAN I LEAVE ITEMS ON THE

BEACH OVERNIGHT?

leaving items on the beach. These items

hinder natural wildlife getting to and from

their natural habitat.

SAFETY

Rip currents are powerful currents

of water moving away from

shore. They can sweep even the

strongest swimmer out to sea.

If you are caught in a rip current,

do not panic or swim against the

current. If you cannot break out

of the current, float calmly until it

lessens, swim parallel to shore until

out of the rip current, or shout and

wave for assistance if you are able to.

Being a member of the Perdido Key Chamber is imperative for me as a

community relations representative for Perdido Towers Condo Association.

I rely on this Chamber to keep me connected to the business community,

and to key initiatives in the area. As a long-time member of the Perdido

Key Chamber, we consider the Chamber a key ally and strategic business

partner whose advocacy efforts at the state and local level are critical to our

Company’s ability to operate in this challenging and ever changing business

environment. We appreciate the staff and all of their efforts on a daily basis.

SANDY GYORKOS, PERDIDO TOWERS CONDO ASSOCIATION

The Perdido Key Area Chamber is Older than the City of Orange Beach! I

would know as I was on both Chamber Boards when I first landed at the

Bama in ‘84. It was the work of both Chambers, together, that brought

us the “World’s Longest Beach Party & Inter-State Mullet Toss in April of

1986. An immediate success, it now draws over 30,000 people annually

with an Economic Impact of over $12.5 million during what used to be a

slow, non-seasonal, non-Holiday weekend! The Chamber was directly responsible

for that and subsequent endeavors that would draw more visitors to our areas

annually along with several fund raisers for local youth groups and charities,

including Secret Santa & the Perdido Bay Youth Sports Association.

WAY TO GO & THANK YOU PERDIDO KEY CHAMBER & STAFF”

PAT MCCLELLAN, OWNER/VICE-PRES, FLORA-BAMA

It has been an honor being a member of the Perdido Key Chamber

for 35 years. Sundown Condominium Association is committed to

supporting our community and we feel there is no better way than

the involvement of the Perdido Key Chamber of Commerce.

satisfaction of knowing you are doing your part to enhance

your community. We take a lot of pride in our property and the

community of Perdido Key. We are happy to being a supporter of

the local Chamber and being a part of such a great community.

HISTORY

Map courtesy Perdido Key Notes, 1987

1985

is a year

some may

remember as

the year of Coca-Cola’s “New Coke”,

Michael Jordan being named NBA’s

Rookie of the year, the year of the

first .com registered, the first version

of Windows, and a series of Live Aid

Concerts raising millions for famine

in Africa. However, right here in the

Perdido Area, 1985 stands as the year

of the first Mullet Toss, first Frank

Brown Songwriters Festival, the rise

of the iconic Eden Condominiums,

and the birth of the Perdido Key

Area Chamber of Commerce.

In 1985, “Perdido Key” was rarely

used to describe the area. It was mostly

called Gulf Beach, it was not until

1994 that the Perdido Key Chamber

requested that the US Board of

Geographic Names change their maps

to read “Perdido Key”. The Key was

also known by the nickname “The

Redneck Riviera”. This term came

about when the New York Times sent

Howell Raines here in 1978 to write a

story about the off season adventures

of two great NFL quarterbacks:

Richard Todd and Kenny Stabler (both

residents of the key). The fun loving

and rowdy Stabler said he “could read

IN 1985, “PERDIDO KEY” WAS RARELY USED TO

DESCRIBE THE AREA. IT WAS MOSTLY CALLED

GULF BEACH, IT WAS NOT UNTIL 1994 THAT THE

PERDIDO KEY CHAMBER REQUESTED THAT THE

US BOARD OF GEOGRAPHIC NAMES CHANGE

THEIR MAPS TO READ “PERDIDO KEY”.

a playbook by the light of a juke box.”

Coquina Village (later named

Colors on the Key) was a hub of

entertainment and was supposed to

be the spur for massive development

on Perdido in the mid-80’s. “Coquina

Village was something unique for

the Key. The collection of shops and

restaurants helped to keep visitors

on the Key and bring visitors to the

Key.” Said Doug Frazier, owner of

Frazier’s, an upscale gift shop and

boutique in the Coquina Village.

The Flora-Bama and the Cutty Shark

(later turned into the Reef) were two

of the only local bars on the island

besides the River Queen gambling den

which sat on Old River. The Point

Restaurant then was selling all you

eat mullet dinners for $2.50. By the

way, most of the mullet was supplied

by “Uncle Dave” Resmondo who

was a famous fisherman who lived on

Innerarity. In 1985 he was 88 years old!

1985 also served up some unusual

weather for the year. The Perdido

Area was still reeling from the effects

of Hurricane Frederick, a cat 4 that

did terrific damage in 1979. In 1985,

the Key had to evacuate from two

hurricanes. The first was Elena during

the Labor Day Weekend. It stalled in

the Gulf and dumped a lot of rain and

high surf on the Key before landing in

Biloxi. In October Hurricane Juan, with

85 miles an hour wins, made landfall

near the Key and spun off nineteen

tornadoes in the Florida Panhandle.

Hurricane Frederick brought many

changes. The vast development we see

now really started after Frederick. As

Dr. Harvey Jackson states in his book

The Rise and Decline of the Redneck

Riviera, “Once the coast was declared a

disaster area… the clean up soon began.

Then came the rebuilding. Then came

the developers. Then came the change.”

It also caused damage to the bridge

18


at Alabama Pass. A new one was

under construction in 1985. The

damaged bridge was built because

in early days the pass was dangerous

to boats with strong tides and fast

forming sand bars. In 1953 the

Alabama Dept. of Conservation began

to dredge the pass. In 1962 a small

two lane concrete bridge caused the

state border to change. For Alabama

actually building the bridge, Florida

allowed Alabama to claim about

three miles of land on the Key.

The development of the Eden

Condominiums was a big deal at the

time. The iconic building in Perdido

Key was the tallest in Escambia

County! (See Eden Story on pg. 20)

The World- Famous Mullet Toss

started in 1985… The late songwriter

and singer Rusty McHugh (who played

a lot at the Bama) wrote a song called

“The Mullet Toss”. One of the lyrics is

“We drink all day and party all night

and Sunday we praise the Lord, we

make a party out of throwing dead

fish, brother tell me we ain’t bored.”

Information gathered thanks to

the help of Fran Thompson of The

Mullet Wrapper and John Vick of

Pee Paw’s Histerical Key Tours.

WORLD EVENTS IN 1985

» Aid Concerts were held in July of 1985 raised over

50 million for famine relief in Ethiopia. Various

Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner and Stevie Wonder, record the song “We

Are The World” as USA for Africa. to raise money for famine relief.

HISTORY

& THE CHAMBER

STAND STRONG ON THE

BY IDEAWORKS

Cynics scoffed 35 years ago when

they heard about plans to build

Eden Condominiums, the one-ofa-kind

structure on Perdido Key.

“Too fancy,” they said.

“Too far away.”

“It will never last,” they said.

But Eden did indeed flourish

and thrive despite storms, oil spills,

economic downturns and other

challenges. And it continues to be a

leader, setting the highest standards

for comfort, grace and elegance

across the entire Gulf Coast.

Along the way the iconic,

angled landmark has consistently

generated top sales and rental

figures, standing the tests of time,

hurricanes and changing tastes.

It is home to a comfortable mix of

year-round residents and vacationers

who often return frequently to make

memories with family and friends.

BUILT TOUGH.

The man behind Eden, Chip

Traynor of Pensacola, used French

architects who had built projects on

the Riviera. Their drawings produced

the eye-catching design, which

gives each Eden guest breath-taking

views of the Gulf and the sand.

Eden is no pushover, as it showed

during Hurricane Ivan, which

flattened or battered numerous other

structures in 2004. Eden sustained

no structural damage; its problems

were relatively minor – a broken

window here, damaged landscaping

there – and it could have reopened

quickly except the Key’s power supply

was knocked out for months.

Credit goes to Eden’s highgrade

construction, a marvel of

planning and execution unlike

anything else on the Gulf Coast.

Massive steel and concrete pilings

were drilled to bedrock 85-to-90 feet

deep. Each condo unit is encased in

8 feet of concrete and steel poured in

place on the floor, walls and ceilings.

A 12-foot-thick aluminum seawall

stands guard on the Gulf, and the

lobby is 23.5 feet above sea level.

Easy living, done well

Eden offers everything an

upscale traveler could imagine

on a beach vacation.

Waterfalls, lighted tennis courts,

steam rooms, sauna, pools (the indoor

pool is heated), a full-service spa, a

fitness center, all sorts of well-tended

flowers and plants, comfortable

meeting rooms, a decked cookout

area, and much, much more. The

owners’ lounge even includes a

marble bar and a Steinway piano!

BUSINESS GROWTH

Eden wasn’t the only local

newsmaker in 1985.

That year, 15 people banded

together to form the Perdido Key

Chamber of Commerce to help build

recognizes this organization’s value –

building community, strengthening

the economy, connecting with our

active-duty and retired military,

and holding events that make

the Key a spectacular place to

work, vacation and enjoy life.

COMMUNITY TIES

Like the Perdido Key Chamber,

Eden owners support the local

community. They shop and dine

on the Key, where they enjoy a

spectacular array of restaurants,

shops, bars, events and shows, plus

the leisurely pace that makes our area

a home as well as a destination.

On several occasions, Eden owners

have opened their doors to wounded

military veterans, holding “Wounded


Warriors Week” at Eden and turning

over their condos to wounded vets

and their families for a week of sun

and fun, a gesture of thanks for

their service to our nation. In turn,

many local residents and businesses

donated food, fuel, snacks and

activities – building upon the program

begun by Eden owners to create

an even bigger experience for these

military heroes and their families.

Today, Eden stands proudly against

the powdery white quartz sand along

the shore, an iconic development that

shares a birthday with the Perdido Key

Chamber. Like the Chamber, Eden

is forging lasting bonds with familiar

friends even as it introduces new

generations of fans to Perdido Key.

MOVING

BY JIM BERAN

FIRST THINGS FIRST:

KNOW WHEN IT’S TIME TO DOWNSIZE

Perhaps the most obvious signal that it may be time to

downsize is that you’re just not using the space you have.

You may be an empty nester now, or that spare bedroomturned-home-gym

just isn’t seeing much action. But other

indicators it may be time to downsize include your housing

costs exceeding more than a third of your take-home pay, or

the maintenance of your home becoming more than you’d

like to handle. Are you holding off on taking that vacation

because your housing costs keep you practically paycheck

to paycheck? It may be time to reevaluate your needs.

LEAVE MOVING TO THE PROS

Once you’ve identified your most cherished items that

will be accompanying you for your move, make sure

you hire a moving company who’s going to care about

your things as much as you do. Hire a reputable moving

company with background-checked movers, an A+

BBB rating, and five-star reviews on social media and

Google. Doing so will ensure your beloved and necessary

items make it to your new home safely and securely.

ENVISION YOUR IDEAL LIFESTYLE

Ever get that focused, energized feeling that comes

from packing a single suitcase for a vacation or trip? It

can be an eye-opener that shows us just how little we

need to not just get by, but to enjoy ourselves without

extra baggage (literally). Apply this principle to a move:

think about what you’ll not only need, but love to use

in your new space. It’s safe to say you won’t need that

snow blower and down-feather-filled parka in sunny

Perdido Key. But those sturdy Adirondack chairs? A

must-have for kicking back and watching gorgeous

Gulf Coast sunsets with a cold drink in hand.

THINK OF WHAT YOU’RE GAINING,

NOT WHAT YOU’RE LOSING

It can be difficult to part with well-loved items like a

beat-up recliner or extra set of pots and pans, let alone

sentimental things like your children’s sports trophies or

the grandfather clock passed down from your parents.

But ultimately, you’ll be freeing yourself up to have more

of what’s really important: memories and experiences.

Downsizing can seem overwhelming, but stay focused

on the end goal of more peaceful, meaningful living.

Something that makes the

Perdido Chamber unique,

is that the membership is

basically split down the

middle- literally between state lines!

As a state-line Chamber, Perdido is the

perfect place to start if you are looking

to grow your business to another

amazing area just on the other side of

the line! The Perdido Area is unique in

that there is both business and leisure

opportunities are in just a short distance!

HEAR FROM SOME OF OUR MEMBERS ABOUT HOW THEY

ARE DOING BUSINESS ACROSS STATE LINES!

“Flora-Bama gets its name from being located on the Florida/

Alabama state line where beautiful Perdido Key, Florida meet

Orange Beach, Alabama so we are very familiar with

doing business in multiple states. For us, location is

something that makes the business unique and draws

people to stop by and see us. It drives our staff to be

involved on both sides of the line and make sure to

support both communities. We are so fortunate

to be going into our 55th year of business this

year and enjoy this slice of paradise on the

Gulf Coast. The Flora-Bama is just a shell and

the people who come see us year after year

are what create the true Flora-Bama and keep

people coming back creating more memories.

It’s been a privilege to work in a business that

can actively participate in two states at one time.”

JENIFER PARNELL, FLORA-BAMA

“Since we offer new construction

homes near Perdido Key, in

Pensacola, Florida and also in Gulf

Shores and Foley, Alabama, it is easy

for our customers to move from

one state to the other in less than

one hour’s drive! This makes it an

easy move if you work in one

state, but prefer to live in

another.”

LEONA DICENSO,

HOLIDAY BUILDERS

“When we looked at growing our Brand

expanding into FL especially Perdido Key FL

was a natural fit. The area is beautiful the people

are great and the housing market is booming,

we also found a great fit in Reed Rogers our Pensacola

Franchise owner which covers all of Escambia County.

Reed Rogers began his military career in Pensacola in 1983

during his naval training at Corry Station. He is an award

winning speaker, having spent 20 plus years helping audience

members grow and achieve greater successes in their

lives and businesses. Reed’s love and passion

for the real estate industry brought him into

the home inspection industry. His real estate

career began right out of high school where

he worked as a carpenter for a builder. He

is proudly a licensed home inspector with

Home Boss Inspection where he now works

to ensure the safety and health of home and

business owners in the Escambia Florida area.”

TIM LOWER, HOME BOSS INSPECTIONS

“The first thing to do is forget

state lines! Concentrate on the

community you wish to serve. All

of the communities in our area are

unique, yet we all face the same

challenges. Build relationships

and understand the needs and

concerns of the people you wish to

serve. The very best way to do this

is by being active in the local

Chambers of Commerce. Find

and understand the needs of

the community and fill that

need. Don’t just fill a space.”

HOW TO START A

BUSINESS IN

PERDIO KEY

Ready to begin your journey of starting your

own business? The road is long and hard but

the rewards can be well worth it. Get everything

you need to start your business here in the

beautiful Perdido Key Area!

1. Brainstorm Your Ideas

Narrow your ideas down to a small

list and search the chosen industry for

existing companies; how can you do

it better? Another option is to start

a franchise, the business structure is

already in place, and all you need is a

location and means to fund the project!

2.. Build a Business Plan

What is the purpose of your business?

Who are you selling to? What are your

end goals? How will you finance your

startup costs? Knowing the answers to

these questions are a key component

to forming your business plan.

3. Evaluate Your Finances

Do you have the finances for all of

your start-up costs? You may need

a commercial loan from a local

bank or a small business loan from

the SBA or an alternate lender.

4. Determine Your

Business Structure

There are four basic types: Sole

Proprietorship, Partnership, Limited

Corporation. There are many factors

to consider when choosing your

taxes, control, capital investment,

licenses, permits & regulations.

5. Register with the

Government and IRS

Get all of your forms and legal

documents together to get your business

registered! If you decide to build a

corporation, you will need an “articles

of incorporation” document. You might

think about trademarking your business

for extra-legal protection. You might

even obtain an employer identification

number (EIN) from the IRS.

6. Purchase an

Insurance Policy

Choose an insurance policy that is

tailored to your specific needs. A

general liability insurance can cover

property damage, bodily injury

and personal injury. You might

also consider obtaining a business

owners policy, workers compensation

and unemployment insurance.

7. Choose Your Partners

Running a business has proven to

be a lot of work, you do not have to

do it all on your own. Third-party

vendors are a great route to seek out

experts in their field to help you run

your business. Look up our Chamber

Member Directory to find trusted

members of the community that

will help get the job done, anywhere

from HR to your phone system.

7. Build Your Team

You should choose carefully the

people you would like to see working

on your team. Defining roles and

responsibility with your chosen team

will help your team communicate

and work together clearly to help

your business down the line.

8. Brand Yourself

and Advertise

Create your image and gain a band

of followers before your opening

day! it is important in today’s day

an age of technology and media

to have a solid marketing plan to

get your brand off the ground.

PETS

By Christina Steffen

It’s been 2 years since I last wrote in my diary about my life in

Perdido Key. Lots of things have changed. I’ve got a new brother…

his name is Squirt. He’s a French Bulldog. That’s us in the picture!

We love flying with our Dad in our airplane, taking off from

Ferguson Airport. It’s fun to look out at the emerald green waters and

white sandy beaches.

After we landed we got ice cream at Hershey’s near Walmart.

Sometimes we go to Island Sweets at Villagio. We like walking

around Villagio because they have Island Epicurean or Jellyfish

so we can order a delicious hamburger. We can look at all the

local art at Artworks…my Mom likes shopping at Barefoot Gypsy. She

even gets her nails and hair done at New Attitudes. We also stopped

by Perdido Artists Gallery and Gifts. They have tons of local art there

too. I like the salsa they sell because I can lick it off chips. We bought

a painting of a sea turtle…I hope I get to hang it in my kennel.

Day 1

Today my cousin Cooper came to visit…remember he

got in trouble for trying to jump in the water at the

boardwalk next to The Gulf restaurant. I like it there

because its dog friendly and we like to watch all the people

and boats. Cooper is crazy over playing in the water. One time he

jumped in Perdido Bay and wouldn’t swim back. His mom had to go

after him. There were kayakers there and they helped lure him back.

Later our families decided to go to Big Lagoon Jet Ski rentals. Dogs

aren’t allowed on the jet skis but that’s OK because we took a nap.

The next morning, my friend Fletcher came over. He’s a Cairn

terrier and FULL of energy. We all went to Hub Stacey’s for

breakfast then went out on our new boat on the Intracoastal.

You can put your boat in the water there too! We saw all

kinds of boats. I wish we could have gone to Pirates Cove. They have

burgers so good it makes my tail wag plus lots of dogs go there. But,

we pulled up on the sand bar at Flora Bama Yacht Club for the best

grilled oysters ever!! That night we went to a concert at Big Lagoon

State Park. My cousin Murphy was camping there in his families

RV. On our way home we stopped at Dave’s Snowballs. Our tongues

turned blue because we all shared a giant blueberry cone.

Day 3

I met my girlfriend Copper and her family at Oyster

Bar the other night. It’s right under the Theo Barrs

Bridge. Copper loves to hang her head out the window…

and guess what she saw…a new auto spa! It’s right next

to McDonalds. All my friends love going through a carwash!

In a few days my family is going to Gulf State Park.

They have a really long boardwalk and a dog park on

Lake Shelby! My brother Squirt and I play all kinds of

games and dig in the sandy beach. There’s even a new

hotel called The Lodge and Copper said The Perch restaurant

is really good!! Well, time for an afternoon nap. I wonder

what adventures in paradise we get to go on tomorrow…that’s

why I love living here….there’s always something to do!

the bill.

HIKING

PERDIDO

BY RICK O’CONNOR

1BETTIE & CRAWFORD RAINWATER

NATURAL PRESERVE TRAIL If

you want to really experience natural Florida,

you could do worse than hike this trail. Bette and

Crawford Rainwater donated the 2347-acre property

for a nature preserve, which is now managed by the

Nature Conservancy. The 2.8-mile trail is not a

loop. It traverses pitcher plant bogs, crosses managed

longleaf pine forest, and terminates at an old bridge

near Perdido River. The trail head is located at 5955

Hurst Hammock Road near Beulah FL. Take Blue

Angel Parkway (FL 173) north to Mobile Highway

(US Highway 90). Turn left (west) towards Mobile AL.

Turn left (south) Beulah Road (Escambia Co. Road

99) and follow it to the parking area at the trailhead.

2BAYOU MARCUS WASTEWATER

TREATMENT NATURE

BOARDWALK The Emerald Coast Utility

Authority operates a wastewater treatment facility

on Bayou Marcus just off of Blue Angel Parkway.

This facility treats 8.2 million gallons of wastewater

per day. The trailhead can be found near the front

gate of the treatment plant. The website states the

trails are open from sunrise to sunset – however,

signs at the gates indicate that they unlock them at

6:00 AM and close at 5:00 PM (handicap parking

at Alekai Dr.) and 7:00 PM at the main gate (3050

Fayal Dr.). To find this trail, travel north on Blue

Angel Parkway. After you pass Lillian Highway, and

just before Muldoon Drive, you will see the green

Bayou Marcus Wastewater Treatment sign on Fayal

Dr. Turn left and park in front of the fence. Alekai

Dr. is a little further north on Blue Angel Parkway.

There are no restroom facilities at this location.

56


3TARKILN BAYOU PRESERVE

STATE PARK You can spend a day,

or two, hiking this wonderful park. The

4290-acre preserve is part of the Big Lagoon

State Park system. The trail begins in the

maintained pine flatwoods with acres of open

saw palmetto and scrub. The beginning of the

trail is a concrete path which is 0.2 miles long.

The trailhead is located on the westside of Bauer

Road about 2.5 miles north of Sorrento Road. The

park opens at 8:00 AM and closes at sunset. There

is a $3.00 fee for vehicles and is on the honors

system. If you have a state park pass, you just need

to write your card number on the form to deposit

in the box, and on the mirror hang as well.

HIKING

4THE WAY Maybe you enjoy

the outdoors, but not enough

to hike 2-3 miles. If this is

the case, The Way is the perfect trail

for you. The entire trail is 0.13 miles

long. The trailhead, and terminus, are

both located in the back-parking area

of the Perdido Bay United Methodist

Church. The trailhead located in the

far northeast corner of the parking lot

begins as a boardwalk and is handicap

accessible. There is plenty of parking

but no restroom facilities. Perdido Bay

United Methodist Church is located

at 13660 Innerarity Point Road.

5LAFITTE REEF TRAIL This trail actually

is part of Perdido Key State Park and does not

have an official name. However, it is located at

the end of Lafitte Reef Road off Perdido Key Drive. The

trailhead is at the corner of Lafitte Reef and Bowlegs

Reef road. There is a small parking area (for about three

cars) and a fenced switchback to allow hikers in. The

trail is 0.8 miles to the terminus and is not a loop. It

is well marked with orange arrows and there is a bench

at the terminus. The hiker should have sun and insect

protection, as well as plenty of water. There are no

restroom facilities here. To find the trailhead, turn north

on Lafitte Reef Road just west of the Perdido Key Visitors

Center. Drive until the road heads west and becomes

Bowlegs Reef Road. The trailhead will be to your right.


57

HIKING

It is always a good idea to let others,

who are not hiking, know that you

are and where you will be hiking.

We also recommend hiking with others.

You should have a cell phone for

contact if needed. Most of the trails

listed have cell service.

Good hiking shoes are a must due

to portions of the trails being loose

quartz sand. Portions of these trails

could be wet and so shoes that can

get wet should be considered.

The sun in Perdido can be intense

and summer temperatures can be

high, and more intense with the local

humidity. Plenty of water should be a

consideration. For most of these trails,

a liter will do. For the longer ones,

we would recommend at least 2-liters.

Camel packs are great for these.

Biting insects are found all over.

Your choice of insect protection

should in your bag. The question

of snakes always comes up.

Yes, there are snakes on all of these

trails. We have six venomous ones, four

of those are common, and three are

most often encountered. These snakes

actually do not like to be in the open

areas for very long. Staying on the

marked trails is your first step to avoiding

an encounter. If a snake is spotted,

give it a wide birth. They will react to

you only if you get too close. Their first

choice is to slide off – let them do this.

Ticks can also be a problem. These

arachnids are most often encountered

in tall grass, where they sit and wait for

mammals to come by. Staying on the trail

will reduce your chance of encountering

one. Sometimes, portions of the trails

have not been mowed and you have no

choice but to walk through tall grass. We

recommend a tick check of yourself and

your clothing before leaving the park.

Wash your clothes when you return. Of

course, the elevated boardwalks greatly

reduce your chance of an encounter.

These are minor issues really, but

you should be prepared. We hope

you enjoy hiking Perdido and be

sure to take plenty of pictures!

6DISCOVERY TRAILThis trail is located within the Gulf Islands

National Seashore / Johnson’s Beach area. You will need a national

park pass, or pay an entrance fee, to access this trail. The trail is short

– 0.4 miles – and the entire route is a railed boardwalk, so is handicapped

accessible. To find the trailhead, enter the park and take the first left. There

is a sign there telling you the Discovery Trail is this way. Follow the short

road to the parking area and trailhead. There are restrooms and picnic tables

on the Gulf side across the street. The Johnson’s Beach portion of Gulf

Islands National Seashore is located in the turn where Perdido Key Drive

heads north towards the Theo Baars Bridge. 13333 Johnson Beach Road.

7BIG LAGOON STATE PARK There are several great trails

in this great state park. The first is an easy boardwalk trip around

the small lagoon at east beach. There is plenty of parking here, a

restroom, and even an outdoor shower. The boardwalk loops but terminates

at one of two pavilions. To connect the two pavilions, you will need to hike

through soft sand. This boardwalk crosses over a saltmarsh ecosystem.

At the northwest corner of the east beach parking area is the trailhead to the

orange trail (so named for the orange trail markers used here). This 1.1-mile

trail extends from east beach parking to west beach parking. Along the way there

is a connection to a blue marked trail that leads to a pavilion on the lagoon

Big Lagoon is located on Gulf Beach Highway just across the Theo

Baars Bridge; 12301 Gulf Beach Highway. The park opens at 8:00 AM

and closes at sunset. There is an entrance fee to access this park.

WILDLIFE

WILDLIFE

PERDIDO KEY IS KNOWN FOR INHABITING VAST AMOUNTS OF

DIFFERENT WILDLIFE AND KEEPING THE AREA NATURAL AND

SAFE TO COHABITATE WITH ITS ORIGINAL RESIDENTS!

PERDIDO KEY BEACH

MOUSE: Perdido Key

beach mice inhabit the

coastal dunes along Perdido

Key in Escambia County,

Florida. This species also

occurs in Baldwin County,

Alabama. The beach mice

rely on the vegetation in

sand dunes for food and

shelter, some things that pose

a risk to these endangered

species include hurricanes,

increased foot traffic,

development along the beaches, and predation from cats,

foxes, raccoons and coyotes. The Perdido Key beach mouse is

protected as an endangered species by the Federal Endangered

Species Act and as a Federally designated endangered species

by Florida’s Endangered and Threatened Species Rule.

SEA TURTLES:

When taking a stroll on

the beautiful beaches

of Perdido Key,

if you’re lucky,

you’ll get to see

sea turtles! Loggerhead sea turtles are

the most prevalent in the area, although

leatherback, ridley and green sea turtles are also

frequently seen in the summer months. One of

the best places to spot sea turtles is at Perdido Key

State Park. Located just across the street from the

Perdido Key Chamber of Commerce, this protected

area is a safe habitat for turtles and several other animals.

Of course, all need to exercise caution when frolicking on the

beach when these turtles are nesting. You shouldn’t interact with

these creatures or interfere with their actions in any way, but you

can observe from a distance. Nesting season runs the length of

summer and ends in October. Baby sea turtles face many obstacles

when leaving their nests—such as raccoons, crabs, birds and fish.

Sea turtle hatchlings use the light of the moon to guide themselves

to the water, but can get distracted by bright lights from beach

homes, condos and businesses facing the beach. When walking

the beach, make sure to follow turtle etiquette by using a red

flashlight (turtle-safe lighting), avoid shining lights or using flash

photography, fill in large holes and knock down sandcastles to leave

a flat surface, and as always Leave No Trace behind by removing

all tents, toys and other obstacles from the beach at night!

BIRDS: The Perdido Area

is a bird’s paradise! Located

between two major fly

zones, Gulf Islands National

Seashore, the longest stretch

of protected seashore in the

country, is the first stop for

hundreds of migrating birds

and monarch butterflies

flying north in the spring.

The Perdido Area also features

bays, bayous, beaches,

rivers, and woodlands where

more than 300 species of

birds call home. So pick

up those binoculars and

come experience our

great outdoors! (See Bird

Watching on Pg. 78)

GHOST CRABS

Also known as Sand Crab or Atlantic Ghost Carbs, the Ghost Crab can be seen

scurrying along the shoreline between sunset and dawn. Their peak season is summer

time from May to September. They live in tiny burrows about 4 feet deep and they try to

hide from the sun as much as possible. Their two black eyes have sharp 360 degree vision,

which helps them capture flying insects. Zooming at speeds up to 10 miles per hour these

crabs know how to make tracks! Their white shells make them adapt to the white sand so

it makes it harder for their predators to see them. Ghost crabs tunnel down for about four

feet at a 45° angle, creating one- to two-inch wide holes. At dusk, these crabs sprint into

the ocean to obtain oxygen from the water, which washes over their gills. Females release

their eggs into the ocean around the month of June. Ghost crabs hibernate during the

winter, “holding their breath” for six months by storing oxygen in sacs near their gills. If

you do decide to go on a crabbing adventure, we do urge you to use a gentle hand when

observing these amazing little creatures and to definitely use the catch and release system.

are eight families of 19 species of

rays in the gulf of Mexico, some are

uncommon, others are very much so.

FISHING

One of the most

amazing and

unique aspects

of Perdido Key is

the extensive and diverse recreational

fishing opportunities. Whether you

bring your boat, charter a local guide

service, use a kayak, or simply stand on

the bank with a rod, there are fish in

reach all year round.

Perdido Key, being an island, means

the water and fishing are literally in

every direction. Perdido and Escambia

Bays, the various bayous, tidal creeks,

and respective rivers make up the

estuary system here. The Intracoastal

Waterway (ICW) links them together

along the Northside of Perdido Key via

Big Lagoon on the east end and Old

River to the west. The Gulf of Mexico

lies to the south.

Local fishing is broken down into

two general categories: inshore and

offshore. Major differences will be the

target species of game fish throughout

the year and of course the location.

Offshore charter fishing boats can take

trips from about 70 to 140 miles off the

coast, sometimes near oil rigs. Inshore

will typically stay in the Back Bay areas

on a smaller console boat.

INSHORE FISHING

Information from Charter Boat Captain- Mike Peek.

Inshore fishing is typically in the Back Bay areas

and close to shore on a smaller center console boat.

Inshore fishing may be more suitable for small

kids or those who are prone to sea sickness.

Calm waters offer a variety of different

species of fish- so every season can be different.

FISHING THROUGH

THE SEASONS:

WINTER (January through March)

• Sheepshead, speckled trout, redfish and

pompano

SPRING (March through May)

• redfish, trout and pompano

SUMMER (May through August)

• redfish, trout, Spanish mackerel, king mackerel

FALL (September through December)

• As cold fronts start moving in and the water cools down, fishing picks up for redfish, trout,

flounder, pompano, and also the sheepshead will start to bite again.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FISHING SEASON/FISH TO CATCH?

The early part of the year is great, for that is when the sheepshead are biting. Sheepshead will

be around the bridges and structure around the bays as they start their migration towards

the passes. Sheepshead is very good table fare and better than that they are great fun to

catch. This is a great experience for youngsters, fishermen and families of all ages to get into.

Once you locate the fish, it’s catching one after another – inshore can be so much fun!

WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE PREPARE FOR WHEN

BOOKING AN INSHORE FISHING TRIP?

In the fall and spring always be prepared for weather sometimes people come

under dressed and it’s not very enjoyable for them. In the early spring and in

the fall always come prepared for different types of weather conditions.

OFFSHORE FISHING

Information from Charter Boat

Captain- Bobby Walker.

Offshore trips can range from 4 hours to 72

hours. They are targeting larger fish than the

inshore trips and can be private or shared.

Most fishing for offshore occurs outside of

the winter months, especially during the

summer where many fishing tournaments

are held in between Memorial Day and

Labor Day!

FISHING THROUGH

THE SEASONS:

WINTER (January through March)

• Mainly Snappers, Groupers and Trigger fish

SPRING (March through May)

• Great time to go out! It is not so hot yet, and

there are plenty of Fish such as Amberjack,

Grouper, Snapper, Trigger Fish, and King

Mackerel.

SUMMER (May through August)

• Seasoned fisherman will likely be fishing almost

everyday. Red Snapper are the main target species

around June and July. You can also find Snappers,

Amberjack, and Trigger fish.

FALL (September through December)

• Amberjack and Grouper are still active through

September, along with the Bromelian Snapper.

This time of year is also when the weather starts

cooling off. Around the first of December you

can fish for some tuna, but not so busy until the

waters start to warm up again.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE

FISHING SEASON/

FISH TO CATCH?

I enjoy the spring, around the 1st

of March, the weather is nice, it’s a

good time to fish, and the fish are

eating well through May and then

it’s snapper season! Red Snapper

has always been fun to chase- ever

since I started fishing out of high

school. People get really excited

to go out by the oil rigs- it’s like

a city with all of the lights. You

never know what you’re going

to hook our there, you can catch

anything from Tuna’s and Marlins

to dolphins.

WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE

PREPARE FOR WHEN

BOOKING AN OFFSHORE

FISHING TRIP?

Most boats are equipped to handle

6-12 people aboard, depending

on how big the crowd you have.

No licensing is required when

going on a charter boat- as

everything is covered. There is

also no experience required to go

offshores, boats typically have 2

captains and 2 mates onboard at

all times, providing for plenty of

education with all the equipment

you could need! Be sure to pack

your sunscreen, a change of

clothes, and some food or drink

if you would like depending

on the length of your trip!

RECORD BREAKING CATCH!

In August of 2019, I took a charter

about 40 miles southeast of orange

beach. We hooked a couple big ones,

two at the same time, and they were

swimming like crazy. There were

a lot of sharks- so sometimes you

wonder if it was a shark. The fish

were staying deep, Brian Andrews

caught the fish after 40-45 minutes.

The water was clear- and he looked

giant! I said “Man you got yourself a

hundred pound Amberjack!” When

we got back to the Marina, we

weighed it on the certified scale and

confirmed it! He broke the record

for the largest Amberjack caught in

the Gulf of Mexico since 1981!

PHOTO COURTESY OF ALABAMA GULF COAST ZOO

Starting as a small,

community zoo in

1989 called “Zooland

Animal Park” in the

heart of Gulf Shores, The Alabama

Gulf Coast Zoo has gone through

challenges and triumphs to become

the amazing new zoo that stands

today. After a devastating hurricane

Ivan hit the Gulf Coast, the zoo

gained national attention on an

Animal Planet series titled; “The

Little Zoo that Could” inspiring

viewers to visit the Gulf Coast and

offer support to the lovely little zoo

and it’s 300 charming animals.

After the zoo is gifted 25 acres

of land in 2007, the dreams and

vision of the new zoo was becoming

a reality! Designing and building a

new multi-million dollar facility is a

complicated endeavor, and over the

ensuing years, the enormous resources

and commitments required by a

non-profit zoo, made it very difficult.

Through Great Recessions, hurricanes

and oil spills- the zoo was able to be

a beacon of hope and source of joy

to lift spirits for locals and visitors

of the Gulf Coast. By the end of

2019, the new Zoo has opened its

doors to new activities, adventures

and experiences that is sure to inspire

and excite the new visitors of the zoo

on this move for many years but the

last couple of years has focused on

the development of the new piece of

property, securing funding to build

the new zoo and getting the vision

Director, Joel M Hamilton.

The new zoo scene will have

adventure at every turn! The new

property includes breathtaking views

starting from the main “Jurassic

Park” entrance, to the gorgeous

lakes and monkey islands, giraffe

feeding stations, Butterfly observation

post, luxurious event spaces and

a unique culinary experience at

the Safari Club restaurant.

The Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo is

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN

WITH THE LITTLE ZOO?

I started at the Alabama

Gulf Coast Zoo in 2004.

Q&A

MICHELLE LITTLE

HEAD KEEPER

WHAT ANIMALS DO YOU

TYPICALLY WORK WITH?

I've worked in all the keeping

departments, but I've spent most of

my time working with the reptiles.

HOW HAS THE PROCESS BEEN

TRANSITIONING THE ANIMALS

TO THE LARGER ZOO?

We haven't started relocating

yet, but our staff and volunteers are

working around the clock getting

everything ready for the big move.

WHAT KIND OF THINGS DO

THE KEEPERS AND TEAM,

WORK TOGETHER TO DO TO

ENSURE A LESS STRESSFUL

EXPERIENCE FOR THE ANIMALS?

Our keepers have been hard at work

training our animals in preparation for the

move. Many of our animals, for example,

have learned to shift into a crate on cue,

and that training will make the move

less stressful for everyone involved.

ARE YOU GOING TO BE TAKING

CARE OF MORE/NEW ANIMALS?

I've already been involved with our

new giraffe, which has been a great

experience! I never thought I'd have

that opportunity, and I'm sure there

will be many more surprises to come.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED

ABOUT FOR THE NEW ZOO?

I'm looking forward to having room

to grow! We spent so many years in a

very confined space that didn't really

allow room for expansion. Our new

location will allow us to offer fun new

experiences for animals and humans alike.

plains. This beautiful venue is next to one of the large

ponds and can host small parties and even weddings.

Other areas throughout the zoo can host groups for

a variety of purposes in unique outdoor settings.

The Safari Club Restaurant is also a unique experience

where diners can enjoy gourmet food and listen to the

peaceful sounds of the zoo. This full-service restaurant

was the first green certified kitchen in Alabama. Executive

chef Greg Buschmohle and his team have created an

intriguing and satisfactory internationally inspired menu

to bring an exciting new dining experience. Serving

“Herbivores-Omnivores & Carnivores” the menu brings

delightful steak and seafood, “over the top” Vegan and

Vegetarian options and even specialty cocktails at BAR

TUSK- overlooking the expanse of the new zoo. Guests

are welcome to visit the Safari Club which is open after

hours even when the Zoo is not open to the public.

Plan a day to visit the new and improved, Alabama

Gulf Coast Zoo. Your friends and family are sure to be

amazed by the breathtaking views throughout the entire

BIRD WATCHING

The Perdido Area is a bird’s

paradise! From nature

trails to beach habitats,

birding in the Perdido

Area is a huge pastime for visitors and

locals alike! The diversity of habitats

ranging from pinewoods to beaches

and saltwater to open woodlands

make an attractive destination for

native and migratory bird species.

With many protected lands in the area,

we are able to support ecosystems suitable

for many wildlife in the Perdido Key Area,

a haven for more than 300 bird species.

OSPREY: Known as Florida’s

fishing eagles, ospreys have a

distinct M wing shape and make

their habitat near brackish estuaries

where they can scan the surface for

fish. Osprey mate for life- birds of

a feather really do stay together!

BROWN PELICAN: A symbol of

the Gulf Coast, the brown pelican is

making a comeback. These water birds

weigh 6-7 pounds and have a 7-foot

wingspan. The pelicans fly as fast as

30 miles per hour and can often be

seen perched on a piling in the bay.

BLUE HERON: These graceful natives

can be found along the shoreline

hunting for fish. These birds have

long legs and a long S-shaped neck.

YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT: This

lovely songbird prefers to spend its

time in the dense brush, so it’s fun to

finally spot it. You’ll know the adult

by its bright yellow chest and throat,

white belly and white around its eyes.

Listen for the cheeps and whistles as

a clue to its whereabouts during May

and again July through September.

GRAY KINGBIRD: These

conspicuous birds will be hard not to

notice if you’re visiting Perdido Key

between April and October. Largebilled

and vocal, gray kingbirds can

be found along Florida’s coastline,

waiting for large insects to fly by.

They also eat other small vertebrates,

including lizards and

occasionally fruit.

Look for these birds in mangroves

and open coastal woodlands.

ROSEATE SPOONBILL: One of

Florida’s most distinguished wading

birds, the roseate spoonbill is often

confused with the flamingo because

of its spectacular pink plumage. the

main difference between this bird

and the flamingo is its bill- flat and

spatula-like. The bird uses this unique

bill to feed on fish, crustaceans and

aquatic insects. Look for the spoonbill

during May in coastal wetlands like

those in Big Lagoon State Park.

WEDDINGS

WEDDINGS

BEACH

BY AVA SOBIESZEK

e are so

blessed living here in

this beautiful little slice

of heaven located on a

barrier island in the most

western part of Florida on The Gulf

Coast of Mexico with great weather.

Because of our great weather wedding

season lasts all year round and yes we

do have seasons, perfect temperatures

in spring and fall, hot in the summer,

cooler to cold in the winter. Summer

is the busiest time at the beach even

for weddings so be sure to book your

accommodations far in advance.

Spring and Fall are more relaxed and

less crowded which makes a perfect

time for a beach wedding, well maybe

except during spring break. Winters

are usually mild compared to many

states with the possibility of chilly

weather. In the past few years, it has

become increasingly popular time for

beach weddings. All the beaches on this

island and neighboring Alabama’s coast

are breathtakingly beautiful without

any man-made assistance, it’s how mother

nature created them for our enjoyment.

The beach is like a blank canvas where

you can freely express

yourself in choosing a

theme for your wedding

and it does not have to be teal with

seashells glued on everything. (Though

if that’s your thing, go for it!) Everyone

wants their wedding to be unique,

different than any other wedding and

at the end we all want the same thing,

to be happy. So what makes you happy?

What are your favorite colors? Your

favorite styles? Are you a bubbly pink?

Goth? Are you a devoted fan to your

favorite sports team? Does an elegant and

classy look make you happy? A beach

wedding is the perfect background for

expressing your uniqueness. Choose

your theme with a color palate, your

dress, bridesmaid dresses, and of course

a wedding would just not be the same

without flowers. Carrying a bridal

bouquet dates back to ancient times,

when brides would carry bouquets of

herbs and spices to ward off evil spirits

and any bad luck. I say whatever you

do, choose fresh flowers as they look

the prettiest for years to come in your

wedding photographs. Search out

some inspiration online like Pinterest,

84


There may be no other day in your life that

you want a certain level of flawlessness,

than you’re wedding day. A day you’ve

dreamed of with a partner that you’re

deeply in love with. The beaches of Perdido Key

will enchant you and your guests with stunning

natural backdrops overlooking the Gulf of Mexico

with its sugar-white sands. This is undoubtedly an

incredibly romantic place to tie the knot.

Instagram and Google Images to get an idea of

styles that you like and understand that there

are no right or wrong choices when selecting

flowers for your wedding. After you narrow

it down to your favorites, if possible setup an

appointment or email the images to a florist

experienced in beach weddings for professional

advice. We are so lucky to live in the times

that we live because pretty much all flowers

are available all year round with exceptions of

few varieties and yes one of them happens to

be the most popular wedding flower, Peonies.

Due to their popularity growers all over the

world are trying really hard to have them

available all year round and they are doing a

great job with the exception of not producing

certain colors or sizes all year round.

All in all beach weddings are very romantic,

special and a great place to say your “I do’s”.

HISTORY

FORTS & MUSEUMS

After the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, the United States decided to build forts at all major

harbors. When Florida was added to the U.S. in 1821, Pensacola’s location on the Gulf of Mexico made it

a prime selection for a navy yard. Four forts were built to protect that yard: Fort Pickens on Santa Rosa

Island, Fort McRee on Foster’s Bank, Fort Barrancas and Fort Advanced Redoubt on the mainland.

FORT PICKENS

Facing Pensacola Bay, Fort Pickens still stands today, commemorating the significant history that happened within. Named after the

Revolutionary War hero, Andrew Pickens, Fort Pickens was one of the few forts in the South the Confederates did not capture.

It also held Apache prisoners, including the infamous Geronimo, who was imprisoned here for a year in 1886. Fort Pickens

remained a strong military outpost along Pensacola Bay until 1947 when it was decommissioned. Today, it is part of the National Parks

System, and park rangers give free daily tours at 2 P.M. The Fort Pickens campground is open year-round, with special events planned

for each month. Call 850-934-2635 for more information.

ADVANCED REDOUBT

Hike through a short, scenic trench

trail that connects Fort Barrancas

to the Advanced Redoubt. The

Redoubt was constructed to work in

conjunction with Fort Barrancas to defend

the tip of the Pensacola peninsula and

Pensacola Navy Yard from attack by land.

Call 850-455-5167 for more information.

FORT BARRANCAS

Located on a bluff with stunning view

of Pensacola Bay is Fort Barrancas

where it eyes its one-time rival, Fort

Pickens, across the water. It is conveniently

located only a half mile from the National

Naval Aviation Museum. The Spanish,

who provided the name meaning “bluff”

were involved in the construction as

early as 1763. Today the fort is part of

the National Parks System and includes

trails where Civil War Confederates once

walked, a visitor center, picnic tables and

special events such as lantern tours. Call

850-455-5157 for more information.

FORT MCREE

Make a boating trip to Fort

McRee, one of the most

beautiful spots overlooking

the sparkling Gulf of Mexico, and

explore the fort’s ruins. At the eastern

end of Perdido Key is an area once

known as Foster’s Bank, used by the

U.S. Army to defend Pensacola Bay.

During the Civil War in November

1861, the fort was heavily damaged in

a massive artillery battle between the

Confederate forces, from McRee and

Barrancas, and Union Forces, from

Pickens and the ships Niagara and

Richmond. Some ruins remain, and

you can hike to the top of Fort McRee

for a breathtaking view of the island.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays, if the weather

is good. They hold free autograph sessions

at the museum many Wednesdays.

While you’re at NAS, do not forget

3 to visit FORT BARRANCAS, located

on a bluff overlooking Pensacola

Bay. In 1763, The British used dirt and

logs to build the original fort, only

to be outdone by the Spanish, who

built two forts at the site in 1797.

Don’t miss the NATIVE PATHS

4 CULTURAL HERITAGE MUSEUM,

with Native American art and artifacts.

At the museum, members of the Perdido
