Perdido Key is located near Pensacola and along the Gulf of Mexico. The 247-acre barrier island protects the mainland from the harsh effects of storms and provides habitats for shorebirds and other coastal wildlife. This state park access includes protected species habitat. Handicap accessible facilities are available. Boardwalks from the parking areas protect the delicate dune system, while allowing visitors to access the Gulf’s white sands and surf. Other activities to be enjoyed include canoeing, surf fishing, wildlife and bird viewing, body surfing and snorkeling. The park is open 8 a.m. to sundown, year-round. Admission/use fee schedule applies. No lifeguards are present. Onsite amenities include covered picnic areas, showers, restrooms, and picturesque views. Grounds are often not crowded and welcome family or simple outings. Photo courtesy of Allen Buckman.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
