Northwest Florida stretches from the historic city of Pensacola on the state's western border, east to Destin and Panama City. With miles of undeveloped natural beaches, quiet fishing villages and quaint historic districts, visitors will feel like they are among the first to discover the "Other Florida."

The Northwest Region, known as the Panhandle because of its shape, features a more temperate climate than most of Florida. Bordered by Alabama and Georgia, this area has a Deep South undercurrent, with ancient live oaks, southern antebellum houses, and a distinct feeling of grace and grandeur familiar to a place with such a strong, extensive history. The local character here is more classic and traditional, with various historical sites, the oldest symphony in the Southeast, and charming, old-fashioned festivals and cultural activities.
The brilliant emerald green waters and the beautiful beaches of this region add to its elegance and allure. Untouched beaches coupled with the pristine waters of the sparkling Gulf establish this region to be one of the most remarkable and unparalleled areas of beauty in the state.
The region also features great golfing opportunities, designer and antique shopping experiences, national collegiate sports championships, a thriving spring break season, and a wide variety of accommodations and dining selections.
