Things To Do
Our First Date - Mama Lattes Coffee
We went here on our first date. Although we don't often head this direction, we have made a point to go back on our anniversary. It's a cozy coffee shop with delicious options.
Bodacious Shops
This is a Pensacola gem. Whether you're checking out their specialty olive oil, shopping upstairs for cute kitchenware, or ordering the Bo Grits and a seasonal latte, it's a fan favorite! Be sure to check out the upstairs balconies!
The BEST Dolphin Cruise - they guarantee you'll see dolphins!
This is THE BEST dolphin cruise in our area. The captains guarantee dolphin sightings - that's how sure they are that you will see dolphins. It was a blast and we have never seen so many dolphins! Their tandem boating team creates waves for the dolphins to play in and it is so fun to watch! 100% worth it!
Palafox Market
Only on Saturdays from 10am - 2pm, this market is one that we often stroll through to find unique handmade items, delicious food, local vendors, and local entertainment. The market is in 2 locations, Plaza Ferdinand VII and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza, within walking distance from each other. This is a great place to stop for a souvenir! Palafox Street should be newly renovated and just opened by then! Please note that parking can be tricky to find on beautiful days. Click the link to see the City of Pensacola parking map.
Bellingrath Gardens & Home
A little over an hour drive away from Pensacola there’s Bellingrath Gardens. This time of year they have the Chinese Lantern Festival Thursday thru Sunday 5pm-9pm. Tickets are available in the link. It’s a great place to explore and see the lights and flowers.
Rock Out Climbing Gym
One of our early dates was rock climbing in Destin! It’s a great way to get active!
Grand Boulevard at Sandestin
Shawn’s place was within walking distance of this beautiful outdoor mall. We enjoyed many nights at Cantina Laredo and strolling over to window shop at lululemon.
Downtown Music Hall
Getting here early? Our friend Devan Dunlap (playing during the ceremony) will be performing with Don Lewis May 30th at Downtown Music Hall in Fort Walton! It also happens to be the place where we had our 4th date!
Hillcrest Church | Spanish Trail
While we won’t be able to attend the day after our wedding, this is our home church. Please feel free to visit while you’re here. Services are at 9:30am on Sundays. Pastor Dan Davis is going to officiate our ceremony.
