The Joy of Books on the Beach
Beach reads are kind of the best. Here are our recommendations for indulgent stories to devour on the sand.
I actually love an occasional rainy day at the beach. Watching the storm clouds roll across the Gulf and the waves kick up all foamy white from the safety and dryness of my balcony makes me feel a special kind of relaxed. Couple that with a jigsaw puzzle, some card games, and maybe a midday movie with the family on the big screen tv, and I’m a happy vacationer! But, sometimes, the weather may last more than a day or our krewe may be just a little too rambunctious for my chill, do nothing day. When that happens, we’re fortunate to have lots of family friendly indoor outings available in the Pensacola area. Here are a few of our favorites:
–The National Aviation Museum is an absolute must which is why we recommend it make your family’s list of things to do, even if it doesn’t rain! This stellar museum is full of aircraft, vehicles, simulators and so many interesting things for every member of the family to see and do. (It’s also where the Blue Angel’s practice. Not a rainy day activity, but definitely another thing we recommend to our guests to plan to see when they’re in season.)
-The Pensacola Mess Hall features interactive, hands-on fun activities that explore all things STEM. A perfect way to spend an imaginative afternoon. And, as an added bonus, you can also purchase a discount admission to the Pensacola Children’s Museum, another fun and interactive museum that is directed especially towards the little ones under the age of 8.
-Escape the weather in one of our favorite taprooms at Perfect Plain Brewing! Make friends with other families who will inevitably show up at the jovial communal tables to escape the weather with a locally made brew and good conversation! Families and dogs are welcome! So, even if we personally can’t accommodate your pup on vacation and you’re missing your pal, you can find a surrogate for some petting therapy here for sure!
-It’s not strictly a unique Pensacola place, but it is fun and a way to get that energy out if you have some members of your group who really just need to MOVE their bodies! Check out Sky Zone for their Ninja Warrior, zip line, ball pit jumping fun!
That’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to activities to do in the Pensacola Beach during the rain, if you’re still looking for more, we recommend checking out Trip Advisor or Visit Pensacola’s lists.
Pensacola Beach is our favorite place to vacation with our family and we’re sure, rain or shine, it will be yours too!
