| Overall seafood - Flounders on 800 Quietwater Beach Rd (Pensacola Beach) or The Fish House on 600 Barracks St. (Downtown Pensacola)(470-0003) Shrimp and oysters - Peg Leg Pete's on 1010 Ft Pickens Rd (Pensacola Beach) Oysters - Atlas Oyster Bar on 600 Barracks St. (Downtown Pensacola) (437-1961) Mullet - Chet's on 3708 W. Navy Blvd Call for hours of operation. Hope you and your family have a wonderful stay in the Pensacola area. P.S. I just realised that you said Perdido Key Area. The places I mentioned are all in Pensacola or Pensacola Beach. I'm sure other PFF members will steer you to restaurants that are closer to you.

| If you're staying on Perdido Key, you might check out the following that will be pretty close by: 1. Obviously, the beautiful beaches on either the Florida or Alabama coast. 2. Not sure if the Blue Angels are still practicing on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, but check their website and go see them if they are. Back entrance to NAS Pensacola is close to Perdido Key. Their practice sessions are very cool...and you get to see them up close along with experienced narrators telling you about the manuevers. 3. Big Lagoon State Park on Gulf Beach Highway. 4. As for restaurants, you might consider the following: Sunset Grill at Holiday Harbor Marina (good food and great sunset views), Oyster Bar on the Intracoastal (just beneath the Theo Baars bridge), or Lillians Pizza on Perdido Key Drive (great pizza and other Italian dishes). Also, drive over the border into Orange Beach, Alabama and go to The Wharf. They have some good restaurants there, including Nicks, Live Bait at the Wharf, and Guy Harvey's. If you're going to be "in town" in Pensacola, the other restaurants that were mentioned in a previous post are definitely worth checking out. You might add McGuire's Irish Pub to that list, too. Hope you and your family have a great time while in Perdido Key!

Another place you may check out is Naval Aviation Museum on board Naval Air Station Pensacola. Same place the Blues practice. It is awsome and FREE. They also have a I MAX theatre that is very good. There may be a charge for that but not to much.

Yes, I agree with kpl. I inadvertantly left the Museum of Naval Aviation off my list, but it is definitely a "must see". (I think I read where it is one of the top 3 attractions in the state of Florida?)

| The Naval Musium is good to do on a rain day, if it occurs. It does take many hours to see it all and it is worth it.

| If you are planning on doing some fishing, and you are staying on or near Perdido Key, you might check with Gray's Bait & Tackle and get the skinny on what's biting and where. They are located in the Winn Dixie shopping center at Sorrento Road and Gulf Beach Highway - just across the Theo Baars Bridge (spans the Intracoastal Waterway) going to Pensacola. It's a small shop, but they have live and frozen bait, a pretty good selection of tackle, and everyone who works there is very friendly and willing to offer advice. Enjoy your stay!

| Triggers Resturant on Old Gulf Beach highway serves a trigger or grouper fish omlet for breakfast that is awesome. You will never forget it. There are also Dolphin Cruises availble around, and boat rentals in Orange Beach. Visit Tacky Jacks. Once in the area you can find the discount coupon rack and many commercial places. Those will give you ideas, as there is plenty to do. And of course, no one mentioned this yet, and I am sure it is your plans, but do allow allot of beach time, early morning, sunsets, and night walks along the Gulf of Mexico. Have a Great Vacation !!!!!!!

| You've got to go to The Original Point Restaurant. It's where all the locals go. They've got the best royal reds (shrimp) and their mullet is always fresh. It's on Innerarity Point Road. Turn at the light by the Burger King.
