Summer

Pensacola in the summertime is a must! You're set with warm weather, the Pensacola Beach Airshow, and endless water activities.

We all know – the summer season comes with longer days and more sunlight. Your sunset time will be closer to 8 in the middle of the season, allowing so much time for outdoor daytime activities!

Did we mention the summer is prime time for frozen drinks in Pensacola? Warm weather pairs fabulous with the signature Pensacola drink, the bushwacker. Enjoying this chocolatey delight on the beach is perfect for your time in Pensacola. The bushwacker can be found at The Sandshaker, Flounder's, Flora-Bama Lounge, Package, and Oyster Bar, Paradise, and Casino Beach Bar.

There are also so many family-friendly activities to do in the summer. Whether it's a day on the beach, a dolphin tour, an amusement park, or a watersport, there are activities for the whole family.

We can't mention a summer in Pensacola without discussing the Pensacola Beach Airshow featuring the US Navy Blue Angels. This takes place every year in July and is a staple event here in Pensacola! It's a can't miss event, so start planning now. We'll see you on the beach!Rounding off the summer for events is Bulls on the Beach over at the Flora-Bama.
