There is a restroom located right in the center with lots of free parking.

Pensacola Beach is truly a gem on the Gulf Coast. The sand is unbelievably soft and white, almost like sugar, and the water is crystal clear with shades of turquoise that make it feel like you’re somewhere in the Caribbean.
