In the westernmost region of northern Florida lies the unincorporated community of West Pensacola. Tucked between Pensacola and Perdido Key in Escambia County, West Pensacola offers a quiet and scenic lifestyle for its 21,000 residents. Two hundred miles west of Tallahassee, West Pensacola is somewhat removed from the heart of Florida, but the region is not without a personality of its own. Shopping, dining, cultural activities and parklands are all available nearby. The county manages many park sites and centers, including a fishing pier, boat launches, equestrian centers, a camping facility and more. Beachside activities are available at Perdido Key and Pensacola Beach, while the nearby group of barrier islands, part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, is a wonderful place to swim, sail, fish or just explore. Cultural experiences are available at one of several local museums, including the Pensacola Museum of Art and the Pensacola Historical Museum. West Pensacola is a popular hometown choice for military families due to the proximity of the Pensacola Naval Air Station (NAS). The naval facility employs over 23,000 military and civilian personnel. Other major employing industries include retail trade and arts, entertainment and recreation. Residents of West Pensacola are also minutes away from the National Museum of Naval Aviation, which attracts hundreds of visitors from all parts of the nation. Nearby major roadways are Interstate 110, U.S. Route 98 and several state routes, which provide access to out-of-state destinations.
