Christmas on the Emerald Coast of Florida

The Emerald Coast of Florida brings a whole new meaning to white Christmas. With miles of snow-white sand stretched out over our favorite beach towns, why not give up the cold and enjoy the sun! We pick Perdido Key to spend the holidays this year and here’s why!

Like most Emerald Coast beach towns, Perdido Key boasts breathtaking beaches. However, its laid-back lifestyle is what attracts us to stay here for the holidays. While most beaches are busy with guests, Perdido Key is truly an easygoing, coastal community that offers solitude in every corner. You can have a quiet Christmas or one with the whole family without feeling cramped.

Perdido Key is not only known for its beautiful beaches but also for its amazing wildlife. Visit one of the Nationals parks to discover wildlife in its natural habitat. Among the many coastal critters, you’ll spot Perdido Key beach mice, sea turtles, ghost crabs, and a variety of birds. In fact, Perdido Key is known to be a bird’s paradise with over 300 species calling it home. Spending time with the family engulfed in nature is the perfect Christmas gift.

In case you need a little last minute something to put under the tree, there are plenty of shopping options in Perdido Key. Cordova Mall is located in Pensacola which is just a short drive from your Perdido Key vacation rental. You’ll find fashionable stores like Dillard’s, Pac Sun, The Loft, and much more. Tanger Outlet Mall is located in Foley, Alabama offering over 120 brand names at a fraction of the price. For small trinkets visit Perdido Key Souvenirs and more!

Perdido Key will put you in the Christmas spirit with holiday concerts. Legends in Concert has a spectacular lineup for an award-winning show this holiday season. Visit the OWA Theater in Foley, Alabama just 7 miles north of the coast. You’ll love strolling the brick paved sidewalks of downtown Pensacola admiring holiday lights.

Perdido Key is quietly nestled between two happening towns which makes it our favorite spot on the emerald coast for Christmas. Spend this time of year with family and friends on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Happy Holidays from Perdido Key!
