It's because we have great Golf, Sports, History, World's Whitest Beaches, Fishing & Boating, Health Care, Culture & Arts, Waterfronts, and Military & Veterans benefits, to name just a few.

Our area has been written up by USA today and others that noticed our lower cost of living, taxes, mild climate, and relaxed lifestyle. Combine those with our rich history, great outdoor activities, as well as no State income or investment tax, and it really does make this a great place to live!

Pensacola is a destination paradise. On our Nature Coast you can find cabbage palms and laurel oaks towering over cherry laurels, saw palmettos, wild olives, prickly pears, red cedars, and Spanish bayonets. Three gentle sea animals that make appearances in the region are the dolphin, the sea turtle, and somtimes the manatee. The graceful and oft-friendly dolphin can be found in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The sea turtle, the largest land reptile, can be spotted in several areas along the Gulf Coast.

From the sugar white beaches to small creeks and bayous, water, both salty and fresh, is central to life in the Pensacola area. Residents of the Pensacola Bay Area treasure the water, and the many other natural resources which surround them everyday. They also realize that these natural resources belong to future generations and as such, need to be treated with great care.
