Who’s ready to turn everyday outings into a fun outdoor adventure?
Today, we launched the Outdoor Gulf Coast Explorer Passport, a self-guided, gamified experience designed to help you discover trails, waterways, and wild places across the Pensacola Bay Area.
The Explorer Passport invites you to get outside and explore at your own pace. With 15 outdoor locations and 4 achievement levels, you’ll check in as you visit each stop, track how much of the Gulf Coast you’ve explored, and unlock new milestones along the way. It’s a simple, rewarding way to stay active, try new places, and make the most of our incredible outdoor backyard.
What you can expect:
- 15 unique outdoor locations to explore
- Hiking trails, boardwalks, waterways, and beaches
- Family-friendly and self-paced adventures
- Explore by foot, bike, or paddle
The Explorer Passport is perfect for individuals, families, or groups looking for a fresh way to enjoy the outdoors—whether you’re a longtime local or someone eager to explore more of the area. Each location offers a unique experience, from scenic overlooks and quiet wetlands to historic sites and peaceful coastal spots. Every check-in is another opportunity to slow down, explore deeper, and connect with the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast.
Along the way, the passport will guide you to places such as Big Lagoon State Park, the Edward Ball Nature Trail, Arcadia Mill, and more. These destinations are an invitation to step outside your routine and experience familiar places in a new way—or discover spots you may have driven past for years.
Whether you’re chasing miles, moments, or memories, the Outdoor Gulf Coast Explorer Passport gives you plenty of reasons to get outside—and keep coming back for more. Start your passport today and see how many places you can explore.
