Pensacola Favorite Tips by Shorebird

Waterfront Marina

Favorite thing: This is a new addition at the end of Palafox St, downtown. This area is undergoing a major facelift and this is just one of the spots that I find most beautiful. Just to the west of this marina they are constructing a festival park , which will include a "state of the art" auditorium. This spot is among the oldest area's of the city. South Palafox St was one of the places in my family's history.

Fondest memory: My Great Grandfather was a fisherman and then owned a restaurant in the downtown area. My Grandfather was in the timber industry and would always eat at restaurants downtown after he concluded the sale of the wood to a major industrial business in Pensacola. One of my Father's first job was in a "fishhouse " on South Palafox St. I dearly love this section of the City.
