10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Pensacola That You Shouldn't Miss

July 15, 2021 Sheron Bogner

If you're looking for some great Florida beaches but aren't necessarily interested in a mega-resort or theme park atmosphere, Pensacola might just be the place for your perfect weekend. Home to Gulf Islands National Seashore, the city offers some of the best fishing and boating in the area. Inland, canoeing enthusiasts won't want to miss the beauty of the Blackwater River. Closer to town, the city has a proud military heritage, which can be seen at attractions like the National Museum of Naval Aviation and the Pensacola Naval Air Station.

This is an artist's co-op, and we enjoyed looking around and seeing the different works on display for purchase. Painting and photography were the most common mediums, but there was a little bit of everything. I enjoyed it.

Artworks Studio & Gallery

Reviewed By barbaracH4730XA - Petersburg, United States

I found several original watercolor cards and pieces of jewelry that I loved. So many beautiful paintings and pieces of jewelry to see! Someone told me when I came into the gallery that if I wanted something custom designed, one of the artists would sit down and work with me. I look forward to shopping there again the next time I'm in the area.

Reviewed By Chipperhigh2 - Okemos, United States

Stopped to checkout what Joe Patti had to offer. I could not believe the selection of fish and shell food they had for sale. In addition a bakery with wonderful looking deserts and a deli area with things like crab cakes. We are in the area for the entire month and plan to shop here at least once a month.

I booked our visit for my husband's 60th birthday! Age has no limit on fun! We had a very young couple. They were great kids to have been paired with. We had a blast, about 3 minutes to late to escape, but it was a blast! Next visit we’ll do the All Wired” Thank you for the team building and the fun it came with!
