Good morning, Pensacola,

Go P'Cola! Run faster than a runaway (pedal) trolley! Pensacola has both marathons and pedal trolleys for outdoor active ways to explore and take in the scenery. Not feeling up to the exercise? How about a leisurely tour of the funky, creative vibes found on the "Antiques on the Boulevard"? Navy Boulevard is one my favorite “time spends!”

This is DISCOVER 🏃🏻‍♂️ P’COLA! Be in the know for where to go with the local news, events, and things to do.

NATIONAL AWKWARD DAY

🗓️ March 18th ,2025

An unofficial & clearly made-up holiday, popularly observed every year. Simons eyes - they say it all: AWKWARD!

THE DIGEST

🚋 PENSACOLA PEDAL TROLLEY

A pedal trolley, AKA a “pedal pub” or “bar bike” is not always a party on wheels with loud music and wild riders. It’s also a fun way to explore the city, socialize with friends (or a soon to be friend), and you might get a light work out while your touring! The weather is cool and season has just begun. The Pensacola Pedal trolley is designed for all, so, if pedaling is not your thing, you may still go along for the ride. They even have a great sound system and room for coolers. March is booked but April is wide open!

Need an excuse to rent a pedal trolley?
