Pensacola Beach Accommodation

Searching for hotels in Pensacola Beach (United States) or Pensacola Beach accommodation?  Pensacola Beach is an unincorporated community on Santa Rosa Island that belongs to Escambia County in Florida, United States. Located on a barrier island, the natural beauty in the area is unmistakable – making it a magnet for tourists. It can be accessed through several bridges from the mainland and across the Fairpoint Peninsula.

The first written account of a person visiting Pensacola Beach was that of a lieutenant of the Conquistador Hernando de Soto, Francisco Maldonado, in as early as the winter of 1539. Twenty years later – in 1559 – the first settlement was led and created by Don Tristan de Luna y Arellano; there were 1500 settlers who came in 11 ships. However, the area experienced a hurricane that sank 5 ships and killed several hundreds of the settlers. The settlement was abandoned in 1561 but a new community blossomed after many years.

All the attractions in Pensacola Beach are related to the water – The Quietwater Beach Boardwalk, Fort Pickens, and various beaches. It is also home to some quaint and novelty houses – one notable example is the UFO-shaped Futuro house often called the Spaceship House.

There are plenty of options for accommodation in Pensacola Beach – some of these are the Hilton Pensacola Beach Gulf Front, SpringHill Suites by Marriott, Days Inn Pensacola Beachfront, and many other hotels and resorts right by the coastline.
