If you're staying on Perdido Key, you might check out the following that will be pretty close by:

1. Obviously, the beautiful beaches on either the Florida or Alabama coast.

2. Not sure if the Blue Angels are still practicing on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, but check their website and go see them if they are. Back entrance to NAS Pensacola is close to Perdido Key. Their practice sessions are very cool...and you get to see them up close along with experienced narrators telling you about the manuevers.

3. Big Lagoon State Park on Gulf Beach Highway.

4. As for restaurants, you might consider the following: Sunset Grill at Holiday Harbor Marina (good food and great sunset views), Oyster Bar on the Intracoastal (just beneath the Theo Baars bridge), or Lillians Pizza on Perdido Key Drive (great pizza and other Italian dishes). Also, drive over the border into Orange Beach,Alabama and go to The Wharf. They have some good restaurants there, including Nicks, Live Bait at the Wharf, and Guy Harvey's.

If you're going to be "in town" in Pensacola, the other restaurants that were mentioned in a previous post are definitely worth checking out. You might add McGuire's Irish Pub to that list, too.

Hope you and your family have a great time while in Perdido Key!
