Sept 24, 2015 - Thursday

We heard about Pensicola Beach  which is only about 40 min away, so we decided to check it out. We weren't quite sure exactly where it was, but every morning on the weather station they would show a picture of the beach with a water tower painted like a beach ball. I really wanted to see that. First the GPS took us downtown Pensicola. We took a different route and it took us to the  entrance of the Pensicola Naval Base. I kept looking for that water tower. Finally after going over a huge bridge (there are a lot of bridges in Florida) I spotted the tower in a distance! We found a pretty close parking place. It also is a white sand beach with Aqua water. Very well maintained. But one problem was that the walk from the parking lot to the water was a very long walk on sand. White sand beaches are pretty, but it is very hard to walk on that fine sand. It is a more popular beach so it was fairly crowded even for a week day. We spent the afternoon there, the water was great, but there wasn't a cloud in the sky and the sun was extremely hot. We sat under an umbrella when not in the water. We had a nice afternoon, but we like "our beach" Navarre Beach which is  five min from the RV park better.
