In one of the most northwesterly points in the state of Florida sits Perdido Key. The word 'Perdido' translates to 'Lost' in English, which seems to perfectly describe of this relatively little-known but breathtaking island. Perdido Key runs for around 16 miles and is conveniently located not far from the city of Pensacola. A lot of wildlife can be spotted here including sea turtles and lots of different sea birds, as well as the unique Perdido Key beach mouse, which is an endangered species of rodent that actually lives on the beach and is perfectly camouflaged to match with the color of the sand. The beaches of Perdido Key feature some stunning sand dunes and miraculous views in all directions, and even more natural adventures can be enjoyed at the nearby Big Lagoon State Recreation Area.
