Outdoor Adventure Vacation Activities Gulf Coast Florida

The Gulf Coast of Florida and Alabama have some of the most expansive and pristine beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. The Perdido Cove RV Resort & Marina, is located a mile from the pristine beaches of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. This reserve stretches from Mississippi to Florida and includes 150 miles of undeveloped federally protected sugar white sand beaches and rolling dunes.  Perdido Key Florida offers year round opportunities for boating, fishing and hiking.

It’s not surprising then that most local activity is focused on getting wet.  Tour providers host a wide variety of adventures including dolphin cruises, para sailing and deep sea fishing trips, as well renting kayaks, all manner of boats and wave runners.

Pensacola Florida is one of the top year round snorkeling and scuba diving destinations in the US. In 2008, the area was featured in The World’s Best Diving & Resort edition of Sport Diver magazine. You can snorkel right off the beach or spend a day exploring the area’s numerous artificial reefs including the world’s largest, the USS Oriskany.
