It’s nearly baseball season and a spring vacation wouldn’t be complete without indulging in a little of America’s favorite pastime, right? Don’t worry; with the addition of the Pensacola Wahoos to the Gulf Coast, you can have your baseball and a Perdido Key beach vacation too!

The Pensacola Wahoos, named for the popular fish that deep sea fishing enthusiasts are undoubtedly familiar with, are a minor league baseball team soon to open their first season in downtown Pensacola, Florida and is the affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. While the Wahoos may be a  minor league team, there will be nothing minor league about these games!

With their new stadium, Community Maritime Park, set to open in time for their first game and hold nearly 5,000 people, you can get ready for a big league event with small town charm. It wouldn’t be a Gulf Coast event without a little beach style though, so be on the lookout and stop into the tiki bar located in the outfield! Purchase your Pensacola Wahoos tickets and catch a game while staying in a nearby Perdido Key vacation rental. It’s sure to be an awesome addition to your Northwest Florida vacation!
