For some, visiting the beach means unwinding on a warm stretch of white sand while listening to the calls of shore birds and the waves lapping the shore, for others, visiting the coast translates to adrenaline-pumping water sports, or checking out the local live music scene, ranging from local downhome artists to Grammy award-winning songwriters. While Perdido Key is less developed than a typical beach town, it is in close proximity to many family-friendly attractions, cultural & entertainment experiences, and outdoor activities for fun in the sun!
