Enjoy a fix of vitamin D at Wayside Park. Once you've worked on your tan, hang around and watch the sky change color as the sun slowly disappears.

Guess what? It doesn't cost a thing to enter Wayside Park in Pensacola. But your adventures don't have to end at this stretch of coastline. Nearby attractions like Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park, Destin Harbor Boardwalk and HarborWalk Village also make for an enjoyable day out.
