Visitors prepare for a seining adventure at Perdido Key.

Perdido Key is a day use area opened from 8 am to sunset and is located off Florida Route 292 southwest of Pensacola. Turn east on Johnson Beach Road.

Swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, and primitive camping are available year-round.
The long roots of the sea oats help hold the dunes together.  

Did You Know?
The stunning sugar white beaches of Gulf Islands National Seashore are composed of fine quartz eroded from granite in the Appalachian Mountains. The sand is carried seaward by rivers and creeks and deposited by currents along the shore.
