On the shores of the Pensacola Bay lies the “Cradle of Naval Aviation.” Naval Air Station Pensacola is the starting point for most—if not all—Naval Aviators, Flight Officers, and Aircrewmen. The major tenant commands Naval Aviation Schools Command, Naval Air Technical Training Center, Marine Aviation Training Support Groups 21 and 23, and the headquarters for Naval Education and Training Command. Likely the most notable residents of NAS Pensacola are The Blue Angels Naval Flight Demonstration Squadron.
Located on Florida’s Emerald Coast, Pensacola boasts some of the world’s whitest sand beaches. This Panhandle city sits on the border with Alabama and is known as the “Western Gate to the Sunshine State.” Pensacola even has a little elevation, compared to other Gulf Coast areas, at 55-feet above sea level. This provides panoramic views of the stunning waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
This small metro offers just about everything you’d expect to find in a city of its size. Pensacola has a more urban vibe than beachy but still embraces its coastal personality with seaside restaurants, weekly open-air markets, and balmy weather. History takes center stage as Pensacola prides itself on being America’s first European settlement, dating back to 1559 (48 years before Jamestown, Virginia and 61 years before the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock). The “City of Five Flags,” an annual ten-day festival, celebrates all five governments that have ruled the area: Spain, France, Britain, the Confederacy, and the United States.Shopping is robust with national brands and locally owned retailers. Restaurants range from fine dining to chains and beachfront dives offering some of the freshest seafood you can imagine. There is plenty to do to kill time in Pensacola, even if you don’t like beaches. Catch a Blue Wahoos game (Minor League Baseball), visit the Seville Quarter (downtown) for a fun night out, or check out the National Naval Aviation Museum—Pensacola’s top tourist attraction. You’ll see the Blue Angels rehearse so often that you’ll feel like you could choreograph the whole sequence. It never gets old, though—trust us!
