“panoramic views of Escambia Bay”
The Pensacola Scenic Bluffs Highway provides panoramic views of Escambia Bay from tall; clay bluffs. Come enjoy this unique driving experience offering a diverse landscape of bayous; tidal marshes; wooded uplands; a shopping and dining district. Explore the bluffs at Bay Bluffs Park or visit the remains of an 1854 sawmill at Chimney Park. Nearby is a public boat launch on Bayou Texar.
"The only known example along the Gulf Coast of red clay bluffs are along the eastern shore of Escambia Bay. They represent the highest point along the entire coastline of Florida. This feature caused the earliest Spanish explorers to establish the first settlement in the sheltered bay near the bluffs in 1559. Scenic vistas are a highlight as the road winds for 11 miles through parks and nature preserves. Scenic Highway extends from the Bayou Texar Bridge to the north end of the U.S. 90 Bridge across the Escambia River." -http://filmnorthflorida.com/photos/location/Scenic-Highway:-Bluffs
