Perdido Key is Spanish for "lost island," a name given to the community in 1693.

This barrier island stretches across the Florida-Alabama state line, with bridges connecting it to both states. This is Florida at its natural best, complete with world-famous parks like Perdido Key State Park, Johnson Beach at Gulf Islands National Seashore, and Big Lagoon State Park.

Rent an apartment 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. Perdido Key has been called one of the nation's most beautiful places, so find your home on this Emerald Coast gem and discover its spectacular beaches, clear waters, and amazing wildlife.
