Ten miles north of Pensacola's historic districts, this mall is anchored by department stores Dillard's and Belk. There are also more than 125 specialty shops, including the usual mall suspects like Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works, and a food court.
This open-air lifestyle center features more than 80 shops and restaurants, an AMC theater, and a pirate-themed playground for kids. You can't miss the mega-size Bass Pro Shops, a two-story extravaganza that includes an aquarium and a massive selection of outdoor gear, from boats to clothes to fishing hooks. Also on-site is Uncle Buck's FishBowl & Grill, an underwater-theme bowling alley and restaurant.
This town center–style shopping and dining complex is on the area's main thoroughfare, just a hop, skip, and jump from the Sandestin Resort. Chicos, J.Jill, Orvis, and Tommy Bahama are among the national brands represented here. Sunset Shoes and The Zoo Gallery are some of the unique local shops worthy of a visit. Dining options include Another Broken Egg Cafe, Vin'tij Food + Wine, and Emeril's Coastal. In addition, the menu at the state-of-the-art Boulevard 10 movie theater gives the phrase "dinner and a show" a whole new meaning.
