Pensacola's former mayor, Vince Whibbs, was famous for his shameless and proud promotion of Pensacola. He regularly recited the mantra that Pensacola was a place where "thousands live where millions wish they could". 

A storied history that includes rule under five flags in its 400+ years, Pensacola seems to have it all: a thriving historical district, blossoming arts community, emerging sports community and of course the greatest treasure of all: beautiful white beaches. Famous as the home of the Navy's precision flight show team "Blue Angels", the military plays an integral part of the area's economy and flavor. You can see sailors proudly strolling the streets in their Navy white's and National Museum of Naval Aviation is one of Pensacola's biggest tourism draws. 

The beach areas at Perdido Key and Pensacola Beach feature miles and miles of National Seashore where visitors can find plenty of parking and secluded sunbathing. Pensacola promotes itself as a family destination throughout the year. As more and more people retire, Pensacola has become an increasingly popular destination for "Snowbirds" and former military who find their way to the area's temperate climate for a winter stay. The world-famous travel guru "Frommer's" recently touted the area as a top budget destination. Accommodations run the gamut from mom and pop-type hotels to luxurious Gulf-front beach homes and condos.
