Loved these things growing up. My folks would throw us kids and a lantern in the car and we would walk all over the beach at night for no reason. Always a blast.
The fiesta of five flags treasure hunt is what that evolved into IIRC.......The beach used to have all kind of cool stuff they don't do anymore....The boxing ring next to the pier would have fights every Thursday ,most from the Pensacola boxing association.....
Seafoofood festival fishing tournament...kite flying...etc...
