Welcome to Gulf Breeze
Hey there! So, you're curious about what it's like to live in Gulf Breeze, Florida? Well, you're about to enter a tiny community that is about the dichotomy of nature and bridges. Above is the bridge from Gulf Breeze to its neighbor, Pensacola. Another bridge makes Gulf Breeze the "Front Porch" to Pensacola Beach.
Gulf Breeze, Small But Lives Big
Gulf Breeze lies on a peninsula surrounded by 1,329 acres of preserve, 18 miles of waterfront and three protected bayous. It is also a city of bridges - one over the bay to Pensacola, the other over the sound to Pensacola Beach. The best of all worlds: small town charm, serene nature, and big city convenience.
SANDY TOES & SALTY AIR: Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of waves on the shore and the sweet scent of salty air wafting through your window. That's just a typical morning in Gulf Breeze. Come evening, have a good sunset stroll.
WATER LOVER'S PARADISE:
You can bet your flip-flops that water activities are a way of life here with Santa Rosa Sound on one side and Pensacola Bay on the other. Kayaking, paddleboarding, boating – take your pick.
EXPLORE NATURE'S WONDERS: Gulf Breeze offers an abundance of parks and nature reserves. Take a stroll through the Gulf Islands National Seashore or hike the trails of the Shoreline Park. Birdwatchers, get your binoculars ready!
Where History Meets Tranquility
Picture towering oak trees creating a natural canopy that blankets the ground in dappled sunlight. That's the scene that awaits you at Naval Live Oaks. These giants have stood witness to centuries of history, and now, they're inviting you to join the living history book.
It was the first and only federal tree farm designed to reserve the valuable live oaks that shipbuilders desired in the 1800s. Put on your walking shoes and pack a picnic basket.
Explore the Shore
WALK ALONG UNDISTURBED SHORELINE
Shoreline Park South is all about nature, hiking and swimming. Its 400-foot swimming pier lets kids swim safe from surf or strong currents. Birdwatchers, get your binoculars ready – the birdlife here is diverse and mesmerizing.
Play all day in Shoreline Park North. Its playground, the Dolphin Island Splash Pad, skatepark, 18-hole disc golf course, and mile-long exercise trail makes this a favorite site for action.
Takes your breath away
The waters here are teeming with life, and the scenery is nothing short of breathtaking. And, this community has gotten creative in how to adventure out on the waters.
GLOW PADDLE:
A unique way to explore the sheltered bay waters is after dark on a clear kayak or paddleboard. These are fitted with waterproof LEDs that turn the experience into something magical. The lights illuminate the dark waters, highlighting fish, easily observed through the clear hull of your kayak.
Zoo-nique Experiences
Now, let's talk experiences. The Gulf Breeze Zoo goes above and beyond to make your visit unforgettable.
Ever dreamt of feeding a giraffe? Well, here's your chance! The Giraffe Feeding Station lets you get up close and personal with these gentle giants. Or, experience the excitement of an up-close encounter with Soman, their rare male Greater One-horned Rhino. Don't forget the Serengeti train ride to get a really good view of 50 acres of animal habitats.
Immerse yourself in Gulf Breeze's vibrant art scene. Check out local galleries featuring the works of talented artists or attend one of the many cultural events happening throughout the year. The community here takes pride in its artistic spirit, and you're invited to join the celebration.
