The Perdido Key Area is a unique community with local businesses and activities spanning both coastal communities of Alabama and Florida.
When you think of the Perdido Key Area, this consists of beach communities such as Perdido Key, FL, and neighboring Orange Beach & Gulf Shores, AL. Also included in the community are agricultural areas such as Lillian, AL & Beulah, FL, and a few Florida urban communities such as Warrington, Navy Point, Belleview, and other outlining communities of Pensacola, FL.
Much to the relief of our locals and devoted guests, Perdido Key escaped the early explosion of beach development, mostly due to its remoteness. To this day, Perdido Key proudly represents one of the last stretches of untouched beaches that captured the attention of the very first visitors. The partnership of local homeowners, small businesses, and dedicated visitors recognizes the importance of environmental stewardship to maintain the charm, tranquility, and natural beauty of the island, all while providing protection and habitats for the unique and diverse wildlife that exists on Perdido Key.
The Official Perdido Key Area Guide is published yearly as a local guide to everything in Perdido Key, from local resources, things to do, places to see, and a directory of local businesses in the Perdido Key Area.
Perdido Key’s literal translation means “Lost Key,” so named by the early Spaniards who discovered it in 1693. Until then, the Key was the well-kept secret of Gulf Coast Native Americans – Perdido Key’s first inhabitants.
