Fabulous healthy food and they are gluten-free friendly! They have a unique sauteed salad which I recommend as well as everything else on their menu. I've tried almost everything and love it all! Saturday is burger day.

The nicest, most efficient and cleanest seafood market I've ever seen! Even if you aren't cooking while you are in town, you can get sushi, boiled shrimp, and lots of other picnic-type food. They will also put fresh seafood on ice for you to take home at the end of your trip.

Very interesting historical sites and you can watch the Blue Angels practice some Tuesdays and Thursdays, check their schedule at https://www.navalaviationmuseum.org/blueangels/
Historical site with lots of interesting information! Check if they are open as storm damage sometimes closes the road. Within the national park service, so there is usually an entrance fee unless you have a pass.

Lots of great spots to park up and down the beach so if you can't find parking at Casino Beach (by the beach ball water tower), try going east or west to park in one of the smaller parking lots. Some have bathrooms, some do not. There is a toll to cross the bridge to the beach, they now charge by license plate so you do not stop.

Gorgeous beaches also, sometimes less crowded than Pensacola Beach. There is no toll to use the bridge to Navarre Beach like there is to Pensacola Beach. Pensacola Beach and Navarre beach are connected by a road through protected areas that are beautiful and natural.

Uber/Lyft and free beach trolley
There is very little public transportation, but Uber and Lyft are common. There are free trolleys that go up and down Pensacola beach which are fun! Check their schedule because they don't run all the time.

For good places to run: The Gulf Breeze Proper loop (in the city of Gulf Breeze Proper near the 3 mile bridge) has a sidewalk the entire way along Shoreline drive and Fairpoint. If looking for a path, there are 1) Hwy 98 path through the national seashore, 2) Tiger Point Park Path/Loop near Lowes, and 3) Pensacola beach path. This neighborhood is very safe, too, but College Parkway is busy. I usually head north on College Parkway and then take any of the branching streets to get off of it.
