Activities & Recreation in Pensacola, Florida

Gulf, bays, rivers, sounds, and the Intercoastal Waterway make vacationing in Pensacola a water wonderland. Fishing, boating, sailing, and diving are a few sports you can experience on our plentiful waterways.

Outdoor opportunities stretch from the shimmering Gulf of Mexico to the rustic woodlands and creeks of the "Canoe Capital of Florida" in Milton. Whether it's fishing, camping, para-sailing, enjoying a dolphin cruise, or exploring hiking trails, Perdido Key and Pensacola Beach provide the perfect setting for whatever floats your boat.

Getting back to nature is also what draws visitors to Adventures Unlimited and Blackwater Canoe Rental in nearby Milton where you can kayak, canoe, and tube down down spring-fed rivers. The cool, refreshing water is clean and clear, turtles are seen sunbathing on banks, and sandbars offer a great place for picnics.
