Follow The Bluffs Overlooking Escambia Bay Along This Scenic Drive Through Florida
Because how Florida is so wonderfully shaped, there are quite a few scenic drives that you can take to give you some epic ocean or Gulf views. Take driving down A1A as one of the best examples. But we have another scenic drive, perhaps not quite as lengthy as A1A, that will be a nice little refresher along the coastal bluffs of Pensacola. Drive along Escambia Bay overlooking the beautiful scenery of the north when you drive the Pensacola Scenic Bluffs Highway in Florida.
The Pensacola Scenic Bluffs Highway takes drivers on a beautifully quiet scenic drive along the delightful Escambia Bay.
The highway runs parallel along the bay, taking guests through places like Lora Point, Gull Point, Bohemia, and Gabberone before hitting the spot where U.S. 90 bridges the Escambia River.
Clocking in at 11 miles total, many locals have dubbed this the perfect Sunday afternoon drive, enjoying ocean overlooks, glimpses of the bayou and bay, and so much more.
There are wetlands and old-growth pines that you’ll drive through, too, just make sure to bring a camera and take it all in. Also, if you really want to level up the scenery, make sure you take the drive at sunset!
