Take 113 south from I 65 to U S 29.
Both 113 and 29 are 4 lane.
Do NOT get onto I 10 as you enter Pensacola......
this is an entry from the LEFT side, and it is
difficult to get quickly into the right lane
for a turn onto I 110 south in a short distance.
Instead, go UNDER I 10 continuing on U S 29
a few miles.....turn left/east on BRENT LANE
(multi lane) and go about 1/2 mile to a right/south
turn onto I 110 south. Follow this until it ends, and
this puts you onto U S 98. You quickly come to
a left/east turn at the bay.......cross the
3 mile bridge on U S 98 (don't be short of fuel)
into Gulf Breeze.....after a mile or so see sign
on right for Pensacola Beach, right turn...
do that, and cross a toll ($1) bridge onto the
island......after about 1/2 mile, at sign, turn
right for a 7 mile drive to Fort Pickens.
I suggest you have plenty of fuel, food, etc
because it's 7 miles BACK to commercial places
(hotels, bars, restaurants........NO grocery
stores......they are back across the toll bridge).
P M me for more if you wish.
