Pensacola Beach, definitely. The traffic can tend to be bad and there will be plenty of beach traffic during the summer but it would be worth it. If you have a choice between a couple of houses, pick the one that might be elevated slightly. Some beach houses in the area have 6 or so steps up to the main level and then it is open beneath in the event of flooding.
And I wouldn't exactly say expenses don't bother you because it is expensive to buy and rent anything on the beach there. Just make sure it is big enough to entertain your fellow SNA's because they are coming whether you like it or not.

Ha! We're working on getting a group together to rent a pontoon and chill in party cove for about 8 solid. Big Dick's, huh? Maybe we'll see you there.

BACK ON TOPIC:
So Perdido or P-Cola beach, guys? Women, hot-spots, beaches...which local is best?
I live out on Perdido Key right now. Like you I didn't think I would mind the drives, expenses, etc, but it gets real old. Don't get me wrong, living on the beach is great, but, to catch a cab back from the bars (Sevilles, McGuire's, etc) costs about $45 (catching a cab from bars at Pensacola beach isn't even an option). Go to a movie, 35 minute drive. Mall, about the same... If you catch my drift. I put about 350 miles a week in driving. I have found there are some fun places to go in Alabama though, and have spent more than a few Friday nights at Florabama.
As for the wait, the days of several months are over. Most SNAs are only waiting somewhere around six weeks, and after that the amount of free time reduces drastically. Just a few more things to keep in mind. Hope all this helps, but most importantsly, whatever you do enjoy your time off before API.

That's why I go!!
Seriously, it's one of the best crappy bars around the halfway point down at the Lake of the Ozarks. Terrible name, but they do offer a shot of your favorite alcohol with a live minnow in it. (DOA seconds after you put it in) Then you can wear a t-shirt that says "I shot the minnow at Big Dick's!"
depends what you mean by the bar scene...there's Florabama way over past Perdido, with the Keg even further into Alabama. Then, downtown there's a few bars close to each other such as Intermission and Seville. And then, down at the beach there's the beach bars like Bamboo willies and Flounders, which hop during the summer, but which are ghost towns during the winter. All of these areas are a good distance apart and require at least a $30 cab ride to get between the closest ones.jai5w4 said:
Don't forget Live bait in Orange Beach AL... right down from Florabama. If your going to spend that much money on cabs to go to relatively ****ty places (Intermission and Seville) get a group togather and setup a driving rotation... the bigger the group, the less often you have to drive.
