Pros

Free water sports equipment including kayaks, paddleboards, and beach bicycles

Within walking distance to 8 restaurants and the beach pier

Staff trained to assist guests with special needs and developmental disabilities

Private bayfront beach area with dedicated children's playground

Cons

15.5 miles distance from Pensacola Regional Airport

Not all rooms offer bay views

“Surf & Sand Hotel enjoys a prime location right on the bay, with many rooms offering desirable ocean views. Kayaks, paddleboards, and bikes are freely available, which is an incredible value add. The breakfast lady makes a mean breakfast and the property's proximity to shops and restaurants is great.”
