On Pensacola Bay

Pensacola Bay is a bay and inlet of the Gulf of Mexico in the Florida Panhandle. It lies in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties next to the city of Pensacola, and it is about 13 miles long and 2.5 miles wide. The Fairpoint Peninsula and the barrier island of Santa Rosa form and shelter the bay. Escambia Bay and East Bay border it to the north and Santa Rosa Sound to the east, and Pensacola Pass connects it to the Gulf. The Pensacola Bay Bridge crosses the bay between Pensacola and Gulf Breeze, and part of the bay runs along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The wider Pensacola Bay estuarine system covers 144 square miles of open water and is the fourth largest estuarine system in Florida. Its watershed covers about 6,800 square miles of northwest Florida and southern Alabama, with roughly 60 percent of it in Alabama, and drains the Escambia, Blackwater and Yellow rivers.
