| Perdido Key Area Information
Its
name means "Lost Island" in Spanish, but Perdido Key is discovered by
more and more people each day. Perdido Key, a barrier island on Pensacola's
western side, offers wide swaths of beaches and dunes protected from development
by the Gulf Islands National Seashore and the State of Florida. Big Lagoon State
Park is an especially attractive setting for hiking, boating, swimming, fishing
and camping. In fact, Perdido Key today is much like the pristine island
European explorers found three centuries ago, although the area now offers plenty
of activities. You will find fishing both off-shore and on-shore, the awe-inspiring
National Museum of Naval Aviation, environmentally friendly island golf courses,
tasty restaurants, quirky shops, Pensacola Greyhound Track, and a songwriters
festival each November.
