In Pensacola, you can enjoy a wonderful lifestyle. Our beaches are sugar-white, and the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico provide a multitude of recreational activities. Pensacola is a mid-sized community that offers the benefits of a large city, but without the big city hassles. We have great schools, a low cost-of-living and no state income tax. In addition, cultural amenities abound, such as the symphony, Broadway performances, art galleries, large-scale music festivals and more.
