Pensacola Scenic Bluffs Highway
Visitor Services

The Pensacola Scenic Bluffs Highway is in a residential and quaint commercial district. There are plenty of restaurants, gas stations, a few hotels, some small local shops and a few passive parks with walking trails and fishing.

Most of the commercial activities are located at the southernmost end of the highway by Bayou Texar. there is a hotel and gas station located where the scenic highway crosses over Interstate 10 and another gas station at the northern end of the highway, just before the bridge.

There are only a few places to pull off the road, several of which are associated with the Bay Bluffs Park, just below the Interstate 10 overpass. The most recent management plan for the highway calls for additional pull-offs to be constructed.
