Saturday July 16th

On Saturday, why not take a day trip to Pensacola Beach as the world famous Blue Angels. The Blues take to the skies at noon on Saturday but if you are going, you need to get there early…and we do mean early. The main lots on the beach fill up quickly for the show so it is recommended to get there at 7AM. Enjoy the beach for a few hours and then witness the aerial acrobatics of the Navy’s top pilots as they take to the skies.

Hope aboard with the Blue Angels for a 360 degree view from inside the cockpit.

Sunday July 17th

After a very busy Friday and Saturday, why not relax with brunch (8AM-3PM Daily) at the Havana Beach Bar and Grill at the Pearl Hotel in Rosemary Beach on Sunday? Try the shrimp & grits, chicken & waffles or our favorite, the Southern Benedict- Poached Eggs, Buttermilk Biscuit, Canadian Bacon, Hollandaise, and Home Fries. Check out the full menu and make a day of it in Rosemary Beach by visiting the Merchants of Rosemary Beach throughout town.
