As a part of Pensacola, Myrtle Grove residents have access to soft white Florida sands, catamaran sailing, and beachcombing. A laid back lifestyle and warm weather make this a coveted area.
• The Blue Angels! It's not a bird or a plane or Superman, it's the home base of the Blue Angels flight demonstration team. Look up in the sky in the Myrtle Grove area, and you may see one of their spectacular shows. Naval Air Station Pensacola is also in the area, where another kind of sky traveler was trained, astronaut John H. Glenn.
• Aviation buffs can get their fill! The Naval Air Station here is home to the National Museum of Naval Aviation, a free museum that exhibits hundreds of Naval planes of all ages. There's also an IMAX movie theater and guided tours of the exhibits. For those looking to get a little more involved, the Corry Station Naval Technical Training Center is also located here.
• Plenty of lakes for recreation! It's not just sea water that surrounds this community, there are lakes, too. Check out some local favorites, like Marcus Lake and Lake Joanne.
