Pensacola Beach Named One Of The Best In The USA
February 19, 2015
TripAdvisor has named Pensacola Beach as one of the top five beaches in the United States.
Travelers’ Choice award-winning beaches were determined based on the quantity and quality of traveler reviews and ratings for beaches on TripAdvisor gathered over a 12-month period.
“Travelers visiting this Emerald Coast beach will experience miles of powdery-sanded coastline and a destination ideal for relaxation. The Pensacola Beach Pier offers fishing and unparalleled views of the ocean, while nearby beachfront restaurants serve mouthwatering gulf seafood,” TripAdvisor said in their review of Pensacola Beach.
Trip Advisor’s other top five beaches in the U.S. were Siesta Beach in Siesta Key, FL, followed by St. Pete Beach in Florida, Ka’anapali Beach in Hawaii and Wai’anapanapa State Park in Hawaii.

It is a beautiful beach but it’s too built up over there now. I wish it were left like a national park and didn’t have all the condos and hotels.
Indeed we do live in Paradise and we knew it LONG before this rating came out.
Notice the sawtoothed indentations where the sand meets the Gulf.
That is a sign of erosion and also indicated areas where there may be rip
currents.
These indicate a need for beach renourishment all along our coastline from Navarre to the Alabama line.
Some places on Perdido Key have lost 60-70 feet of sand which is now covered by water showing a urgent need for nourishment (that areas beach line has never been rebuilt).
Beach stabilization and nourishment are needed as soon as possible if our area is to remain a tourist and locals attraction.
Love Living here, all my life I have lived within 40 miles of the Beach and Love it
