Perdido Key is Spanish for "lost island," a name given to the key in 1693. If you are ready to get lost in paradise, find some flip-flops and sunscreen and head to this fantastic island off Florida's west coast. This barrier island stretches across the Florida-Alabama state line, with bridges connecting it to both states. This is Florida at its sun-shiniest, natural best, complete with world-famous parks Perdido Key State Park, Johnson Beach at Gulf Islands National Seashore, and Big Lagoon State Park.
Rent your condo in Perdido Key and life beneath the palm trees will soon be yours. Salty ocean breezes, lazy afternoons beachcombing and swimming, and some of the Gulf's best seafood await. Have dinner at the open-air Flora-Bama Yacht Club and enjoy the view. When you want to visit the "big city," Downtown Pensacola is just 15 miles northeast.
