Fort Pickens is on an island south of Pensacola.
$1 toll to cross the bridge going south, free
going north. Fort Pickens has 4 'loops', and
most people prefer the first ('A') loop. I
don't know why.
After you cross the$1 bridge onto Santa Rosa island,
you will see high rise condos, restaurants, etc.
NO GROCERY STORES....be supplied. You will turn
right and go about 7 miles on a road with NOTHING
but sand..........very pretty. At the campground
there is a store with often-wanted items. At the
end of the island is Fort Pickens, well worth a
visit.
T V reception is by antenna.........no cable T V.
The beaches (north AND south of the campground) are
fine, with clear water and white sand. You will
walk from the campsite to either beach. Maybe
some of the finest beaches in the world.
Pensacola is a good tourist place........check out the
various sites.
