Take a Step Into Coastal Beauty and Rich History
For those who love to explore, Santa Rosa Island offers more than just gorgeous Florida beaches. Venture west to Fort Pickens, part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, where history and nature come together. Built in the 1800s to defend Pensacola Bay, this Civil War–era fort later became a refuge for freedom seekers and even held the Apache leader Geronimo as a prisoner of war.
Today, visitors can wander its historic walls, discover the surrounding batteries and trails, and enjoy panoramic views of the coastline while spotting dolphins and shorebirds along the way.
