Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits, Parking - Auto, Trailhead

The Florida National Scenic Trail passes directly in front of historic Battery Langdon. This bunker was built in 1923 and protected the largest guns in the area.

To continue on the Florida Trail, head south across Fort Pickens Road to Langdon Beach. The trail then continues along the beach for 5 miles before exiting the park near Park West on Fort Pickens Road. Thru-hikers may wish to take the Pensacola Beach Trail for another 9 miles before reentering the park in the Santa Rosa area. The Florida Trail then continues along the beach for 7 more miles before exiting onto a paved path on Gulf Boulevard.

Happy hiking!
