Perdido, located about 15 miles west of Pensacola, is a barrier island. It is quiet here partly due to its remote location. Public areas are confined to the natural areas of the Gulf Islands National Seashore on the island's eastern tip, or the Perdido Key State Recreation Area in the heart of the key. Miles of sugar-white sandy beaches are the dominant feature. Condos are the predominant housing but, there are plenty of single family houses also.

Blessed with four distinct seasons the mild climate allows outdoor activities on all but a few days a year. Summer brings the characteristic heat and humidity of the South. Spring and Fall are relatively short with cool nights and warm days. Winters are also relatively short and generally mild. It has snowed here but it seems to be a generational event.

Here is a short list of local attractions and "Things to Do". For more resources go to the Perdido Key Chamber of Commerce website at perdidochamber.com
