It was a lovely morning on Pensacola Beach today…

The water was almost completely still!

Pure white sand, and emerald green water

What a great morning! Now that I caught the sunrise, its back to bed for me!

Found this strange little bug crawling on my back porch today. I spent about an hour online trying to identify it but I’m giving up. The best guess I have is that it is some kind of termite. Click the image for a larger version. If anyone knows better, please leave a comment!

At home I have a police scanner and I just set it up to monitor the happenings of Pensacola Beach. Here are some useful frequencies that you’ll want to tune in to if you’re following the action of the beach:

One of the most popular weekly events out on the beach is heading down to the Gulfside Pavilion (over near the Pensacola Beach Pier) every Tuesday night at 7pm for some musical entertainment.

Bands on the Beach features a variety of bands and entertainers. If you want to fit in with the locals, bring a few chairs, a blanket and a cooler of beer or wine (no glass, though).

Here is the line-up for the rest of the 2008 year:

Bands on the beach offers a variety of bands, that can fit anyone’s taste in music!

It is also timed perfectly with the sunset. Come join us next Tuesday!
