Unveiling the New Pensacola Bay Pier and Marina

by Vista Group

The new Pensacola Bay Pier and Marina is now open for public use as of yesterday, May 25th, 2023. Located in the heart of Downtown Pensacola at the Community Maritime Park, this pier and marina is a fantastic addition to the community! It provides a unique opportunity for residents and tourists alike to enjoy the beautiful Pensacola Bay and all it has to offer. It is the perfect place for those who love an active lifestyle to launch on their kayak, paddleboard, or just taking a leisurely stroll along the water.

I'm excited to see the continued growth, improvements and added amenities coming to the Pensacola Downtown area!
