Gulf Breeze Florida

Gulf Breeze is located in Santa Rosa County just south of Pensacola between Pensacola and Pensacola Beach along Interstate 10 near Pensacola Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Situated just east of the Alabama state line.

Gulf Breeze is part of the Pensacola, Florida metro area.

The City of Gulf Breeze was incorporated in 1961.

By the early 1930's, bridges between Pensacola and Gulf Breeze and Pensacola Beach were completed as was Highway 98. Gulf Breeze was established in 1936 when the Gulf Breeze Cottages and Store opened a post office branch where Live Oaks Plaza now stands.

The Naval Live Oaks Reservation was the home of the first American experimental tree farm, established by President John Quincy Adams in 1828. It was established to provide raw material to support shipbuilding for the Navy in the area. Today, Naval Live Oaks is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, a unit of the National Park Service.

In Gulf Breeze, you'll find unspoiled natural beauty and a relaxed lifestyle.
