My favorite downtown destination! This is a cute little tea parlor and ice cream shop. You have to try the curry chicken and the sausage!

There are so many food trucks out now! Look for them when you are on your way - they are really so good! And sometimes better than sit down restaurants! The photos are of Al Fresco, a ‘permanent’ food truck lot. Look for Misu, Brown Bagger, Two Birds and SuperBowls & Smoothies.

Want to see Pensacola like no one else?! Book a Discovery Flight with this school and they will take you on about an hour flight to the beachball all the way to Fort Pickens. Depending on the day, you may even see the Blue Angels parked at their spot on the Navy Base. Definitely an experience!
This is my flight school - I'm a private pilot, working on my IFR certificate. I've known this school and their fleet since 2020 and I trust them with my life enough to trust them with yours.
