Pensacola Beach's popular outdoor concert series, Bands on the Beach, is back starting April 4, 2023, and features diverse bands and performances for every musical taste.
Presented by the Santa Rosa Island Authority, these free, weekly concerts are held every Tuesday night from 7-9 p.m. at the Gulfside Pavilion on Pensacola Beach – overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.

The Santa Rosa Island Authority full board voted at their January 25 meeting to remove the ten square foot concrete pad from the Baby Beach improvement project before letting it out for bid. The pad was to accommodate a portable bathroom which had drawn the ire of nearby residents. The project scope includes stormwater improvements and an ADA compliant parking place.

The Architectural and Environmental Committee received at their January 11 meeting updates that the combined dredge and beach nourish project scope had been changed. The Lafitte Cove and Little Sabine Channel dredging are to be bid as a separate project from the Baby Beach Drainage Improvements and the Baby Beach Nourishment projects.
