Getting Outdoors

With 168 miles of shoreline to explore along the Gulf Islands National Seashore, there’s plenty to keep you busy. Biking is a quickest way to traverse the beachy terrain, though on foot is acceptable too. In the Florida section of the seashore, there are four main areas (Fort Pickens, Naval Live Oaks, Perdido Key, and Santa Rose) with designated biking and walking paths. Many of the hiking trails are unpaved and wind you near the water. On the Mississippi side, long-distance bikers will be thrilled to know there’s a 15.5-mile loop. This is a great way to self-tour the area.

Camping at Gulf Islands National Seashore

Gulf Islands National Seashore campers are able to spend the night onsite with the waves as your lullaby. Fort Pickens and Davis Bayous campgrounds accept RV travelers. Both are open for year-round reservations and include a variety of campsite options. Most sites will have full hookups unless you opt for a non-electrical site. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, water, and a dump station, as well as full access to the surrounding natural world.

Exploring the Area

Pensacola is a fun Floridian city beaming with busy boardwalks, low-rise buildings, and delicious seafood. The Naval Aviation Museum and the Pensacola Lighthouse & Maritime Museum are fabulous ways to totally immerse yourself in the culture of the area. Or, just jump right in and hit the town! There are several options for kids to engage with their surroundings and even more for adults. Enjoy some freshly cooked crawfish while watching the sun dip behind the water.
