Pensacola ... the last of our Panhandle journey from St Marks. Pensacola is the most westerly city in Florida and one of the oldest and most historical in America, with a settlement that predated even St. Augustine's (but only lasted a short time). Pensacola became part of the U.S. in 1821, and it was officially incorporated in 1825. Its history far predates this time, and it was ruled by five different flags in its history. So much to see in Pensacola from the historic district, to the lighthouse to the waterfront, it could take days to see it all. Lots of rich history. See Pensacola Wiki

There is much to see in Pensacola. What originally attracted us to Pensacola was when we started our Florida exploration searching for land-based light houses throughout Florida. We learned that not only does Pensacola have great sunsets, and an old town district, and is the home of the Naval air Station. Most recently, we found online that there was a bridge that has become the graffiti magnet for local artists and would-be artists.
