Plan an Adventurous Vacation Along the Emerald Coast

The sparkling Emerald Coast got its name from its clear emerald-green water. It could also be called the Sugar Coast from the distinctive sand that coats the shore and looks like sweet cane sugar. When you book your stay with Portofino Island Resorts, you can see for yourself the beautiful Florida Emerald Coast on Pensacola Beach. Portofino Island Resorts is unique from other Florida hotels, with our luxurious condos featuring glamorous views of Pensacola Beach from your balcony.

Fort Pickens

Leaders in Europe have long considered Pensacola Bay in current-day Florida one of the most critical spots on the Emerald Coast because of the anchorage and protection it provides ships. Shortly after Pensacola Bay became a U.S. territory in the early 1800s, Fort Pickens was built to protect the Bay from foreign attacks. 

 

There is so much for travelers to explore in the Fort Pickens Area. The Fort Pickens Discovery Center has indoor exhibits about the history and wildlife of the area. The Langdon Beach Pavilion provides opportunities for swimming and beach day picnics. You can explore the historic Fort Pickens on a self-guided tour or as a part of a program.
