Searching for the perfect picnic spots with your significant other, friends, or family? Look no further. Here's five picnic spots to visit this season in Pensacola.
Ahhhh, sunny and 75, that's the Pensacola Bay Area's claim to fame. Now that spring has officially arrived, visitors and locals alike can be found enjoying the great outdoors.
Be it hiking, biking, paddling or fishing one of our favorite things to do is to picnic. Below we've compiled a list of our favorite places to grab a bite while enjoying the Florida sunshine.
Bayview Park is the perfect picnic stop for families. This park caters to your family boasting a playground, picnic tables, restrooms, and a dog park for Fido. This park is so much more than its utility. Bayview sits on the edge of Bayou Texar which makes for beautiful sunsets across the water.
Meal tip: On your way to the park, I recommend going to Apple Market to pick up all the essentials. Apple Market is a small local shop with unique sodas, delicious sandwiches and many sides to choose from. This mom and pop style store is a one-stop-shop for all your picnic needs.
If you’re downtown and looking for a picnic that is a little more intimate, Seville Square is the place. Located in the heart of Pensacola’s historic district, Seville Square has a rustic charm that is sure to elevate your evening. Insider tip: Go at dusk. The pavilion has lights that you can turn on to make your evening magical. Double check before you go to see if any festivals have the park reserved.
Meal tip: At the corner of the park, you can grab a bite to eat at Lucy’s In The Square. The adorable cottage restaurant is perfect for the earthy taco and wine lover to grab something for to-go.
Allow me to let you into a little secret, Park East is where the locals hide. This beach has a boardwalk, a huge parking lot and most importantly bathrooms. This beach is the simplified version of Casino Beach (the one with the beach ball water tower). If you are looking for a quieter beach to escape the crowds Park East is exactly what you need.
