Describe Pensacola Beach

Improved Essays
The crashing of the waves and the white sand are some of our favorite things about visiting the beach. Particularly this beach with its rich emerald colored water, extremely white sand, and the eroded rocks on the shoreline. The holes in the sand made by the sandpipers make the beach very unique. This beach is also home to the Blue Angels tactical air squadron. It’s also a place where history resides. Pensacola Beach is one of the best beaches I have ever visited.

Pensacola beach has always fascinated me. It is very unique due to the fact that it is on an island. When you first arrive on the beach, the first thing you notice is the smell of the delicious meals from the nearby grills and restaurants. My favorite restaurant on the beach is Peg Leg Pete’s. They have a

I can imagine the adrenaline the pilots have when they are flying in an air show. They are very common to see when you’re in Pensacola from key chains to mugs with them on it. The Blue Angels are made up of highly trained fighter pilots. Every once in a while they switch out the pilots for the other pilots on the list. I would love to see them in person and have a nice conversation with the pilots. The air shows they do are impressive with their loops and images made out of the smoke they release from the jets.

On Pensacola Beach there is this one place that I love to go on to fish or just to look at the sunsets; it’s the pier! The pier has been wiped out multiple times by our sometimes deadly and dangerous hurricanes. The pier is a popular place for families or just guys who love to fish. I have been on the pier multiple times to fish and I have caught a couple of decently sized fish. The pier is one of the icons of Pensacola Beach. The pier has been known for a while as a popular fishing spot or a place to just take pictures off of. The pier is massive with it’s concrete legs which support

    I chose the Pensacola Naval Air Station, Pensacola Florida because that is the site in which the majority of my family lives and works on. This station is home of Aviation Schools, Air Technical Training, Marine Aviation Training, and the Blue Angels. This station was placed on the National Priorities List in 1989 due to the contaminated surface and ground water, soil and sediments. This contamination dates back to before World War 2 where there weren’t any regulatory guidance on dumping waste whether it is chemical or otherwise.…

    Soon local residents and crafty business men discovered that they themselves could cater to the visitors and turn a profit while doing so. Small attractions such as Panama City Snake-A-Torium where visitors could view a large collection of exotic reptiles up close began popping up everywhere. Following the success of small ventures like the Snake-A-Toruim, even larger attractions such as the Gulfarium, which can be best described as early version of Sea world, began to arise seemingly overnight. The Gulfarium found in Ft Walton was a shining example of impact of tourism in the area as Panama City was now one of several locations in which visitors could enjoy unique experiences in Florida’s panhandle. Pensacola although late in its arrival as a prime tourist destination also claimed home to some of its own unique wacky tourist attraction including Goofy Golf, which was miniature golf course, decorated with giant obstacles shaped in numerous objects.…

    Or, make it a day trip another time. After you cross the Matanzas Inlet bridge only 12.5 miles north of Palm Coast, you’re on the southern tip of Anastasia Island, St. Augustine’s barrier island. To your left lies Fort Matanzas National Monument, which the Spanish began building in the fall of 1740 to keep British invaders and pirates from accessing St. Augustine through the Matanzas Inlet off the Atlantic — a watery back door. Now a national park, Fort Matanzas — perched on the west bank of the Matanzas River — is accessible only by park-service ferry. Well worth a visit.…

    Pile Cap Essay

    The connections of the fascia boards to the pile caps were severely overstressed during the hurricane. Most of these connections in the entire pavilion area experienced failure of the wood, usually resulting in splitting of the wood (see Figure 8). Further inspection revealed that shimming was used heavily during the construction of the pier to maintain a flat deck surface. This raised the fascia boards up and greatly decreased strength of the connection to resist uplift. These geometric conditions, in addition to the reliance on the fascia board to resist the uplift forces at the exterior stringers, are definitely at fault for the wide spread failures.…

    Beach Habitat

    Defeo, McLachlan et al examine what makes sandy shoreline habitats unique among other types of shorelines. Their article looks at threats to beaches, from weather patterns, to extreme storms, as well as man made structures and failed attempts at beach rehabilitation. The article makes a point that long-term information about the on-going changes in beach habitats is often hard to come by, and what information can be found is very short-term, geologically speaking. They suggest that in order to properly measure threats to beach habitats, long term studies must be put in place, and these studies must be designed to bring to light which threats are natural and which are anthropogenic.…

    Many things can represent the city of Miami to people. To me however, from daytime to nighttime, South Beach best illustrates what makes Miami different from almost every other city: diversity.

As you approach South Beach, crossing over the ocean on I-395, you can already hear multiple styles of music playing in the distance.…
