I believe to fish off the pier at fort Pickens you have to have a license but back down the road the fishing pier at Pensacola beach is licensed and you don't have to have a license. The museum at naval air station is very nice and free to go in and look around. There are a lot of military aircraft in there and this is the home of the blue Angels. Joe patties is the best seafood market as others have said and the zoo is just right down the road. Enjoy your time here and remember to pay attention to the beach flag system.
