Pensacola Vacations & Travel Tips

When to Go

Like most of northern Florida, Pensacola enjoys cooler winter months and hot, occasionally rainy summer days. Boasting around 343 days of blessed sunshine per year, plus an average daily temperature of 68 F, any time is clearly the right time to visit Pensacola. Swimmers and snorkelers will love the warm summer waters in the mid-80s. During the winter, waters remain around the mid-60s.

Fast Facts

The Times of London named the Mighty O aircraft dive site one of the world’s top ten wreck diving sites in the world.

The vivid colors of Pensacola’s seas, skies and sands appear even more vibrant when recreated for Jodie Foster’s character in Carl Sagan’s out-of-this-world epic sci-fi film, Contact.

The city acquired its name from the Presidio San Miguel de Panzacola, a Spanish settlement built during the 17th and 18th centuries.
