Running for 8 miles and relatively isolated, Opal Beach is a precious hidden gem in Northwest Florida. This serene beach, named after the 1995 hurricane that damaged the Pensacola coast, is not as wide, but has enough space for sunbathing, walking, and indulging in beach activities.
The gulf side boasts powdery white sand and crystal clear ocean waters, making it one of the most beautiful beaches in the Pensacola area.
Thanks to its partially secluded location, Opal Beach is a prime spot for fishing. Depending on the season, you might catch species like pompano, flounder, and the red drum among others.
