Pensacola Beach Ball Tower

"It's holding water and our attention. Top tier water tower!"

"The beach ball is one of the show center markers for the Blue Angels. It (usually) pairs with a large Coast Guard tender to mark the centerline perpendicular to the beach (not the pier). In the absence of the tender you can draw a line from Hooters to the beach ball to get the centerline for the airshow. Of course that parking lot is filled before the sun rises on show days. Also, the corner car show is quite the sight. C1 through C8 Corvettes on display. Easily over 100 Corvettes (probably many more, I got there at the end of the show as many were leaving). The variety of engine sounds was awesome. I'll definitely be coming back next year for the full show."

"Lots of parking, convenient to many restaurants, the Visitor Center was very helpful. Don't miss the pier. It was odd to us that they charged admission, it's not the norm on the beaches where we used to live, but we got to see lots of sea life!"

"Nice place to spend the evening waiting for the sun to set. It seems weird that you have to pay to walk on the pier but given the cleanliness I can see how it helps."

"One of my fav places to be! On Tuesdays during the summer they have free concerts called Bands on the Beach! Every week is a new band although some are repeats from past weeks. Definitely worth a visit!"
