February on the Gulf Coast

Are you ready? February is almost here. And there is much to do and to be done.

To start off the month for all you athletically minded individuals, there is the Pensacola Double Bridge Run. (Time is running out to register.) The Run will take place Feb 2; the 15K will begin at 7 am and the 5k run walk will begin at 8:30am.

For all the snowbirds, the Navarre Beach Chamber will be hosting their annual Snowbird Open House. All snowbirds are asked to RSVP. This event provides opportunities for the Snowbirds to see what the local community has to offer as well as the opportunity to win door prizes.

Everyone remembers February for Valentine's Day - yes, it is 2 weeks away. How will you spend it with your sweetheart?  Navarre Beach has the perfect prices and accommodations for a romantic weekend away.

To finish the month off prepare for the River Walk Arts Festival located in the historic river town of Milton. Locals and artisans will show off their latest goods and creations.

Navarre Beach has plenty to keep one busy in the winter month of February - don't spend it cooped up.  Plan a trip to the beach to enjoy some sunshine, milder temps and a Florida Winter.

Double Bridge Run 15 K and 5K

Many of us make New Years resolutions to do better at exercising, and it helps to have a goal. The Double Bridge Run could be just that goal to keep you motivated.

This annual 15K run and 5 K Run and Walk take the participants from Palafox Pier to Pensacola Beach. But to be a part of this event, make sure to register online at www.doublebridgerun.com or at the very latest the Pensacola Beach Hilton by Feb. 1.

The Price for Registering will increase starting Jan. 26.  The Run will provide shuttle service, aid stations for runners, and Monetary Awards to the 3 overall finishers.
