Pensacola+Beach,+Florida

shared by Mrs. Mann and Mrs. McCullough's class at Gulf Breeze Elementary in Gulf Breeze, FL || ||<  || ||<   || We also have smaller dangers such as jelly fish, man-o-wars, etc! " Check out our safety video!! ||   || There are many fun spots to visit, along with numerous relaxation spots! We enjoy all of the yummy restaurants and fun shops! The beautiful city of Gulf Breeze surrounds our beach and adds a little extra sparkle to the beach!" ||  || ||   || ||   || When this event took place, our beach became an intergral part of a historic event. There were many crews who spent numerous hours daily cleaning up from this catastrophe. However, we are ecstatic to let the world know that our beautiful beach is perfectly a-ok and survived the terrible incident!!! It is as gorgeous as ever and we are so thrilled to be playing in our back yard again!!! " ||  || Dirt and clay is not permitted on the island during construction! This would have the potential to ruin the white sands. Fort Pickens is an integral part of our beaches! National seashores surround our beach! ||<   ||
