Constructed walkways over dunes and water were among the topics the Santa Rosa Island Authority Full Board addressed at their February 12 meeting.

Pensacola Beach’s event calendar runs the gamut from quirky and quaint to powerfully patriotic. The year splashed in with the Polar Bear Plunge and before the goose bumps can go away there is a half marathon. King cakes, wig wearing bushwacker drinking partiers and the wildest pajama party in the world – the Krewe of Nauga’s Champagne Breakfast and Native Noontime Ball are all in January. The Chamber and the SRIA host a bash for snowbirds. Beach Babes saunter across the Shaker stage and Bananimals chefs vie for the title of best chilli cook. The last day of the month pits trivia fans against each other at the Church while the sticky marshmallow filled moonpie is honored at Bamboo Willie’s at the Nereids’ party.
