The '''Pensacola Beach sign''' is an iconic [[Gulf Breeze]] landmark that points the way to the [[Bob Sikes Bridge]] and [[Pensacola Beach]]. The colorful, 60s-era sign sits along [[Gulf Breeze Parkway]] and features an orange-, yellow- and green-finned sailfish on both sides. The words "Pensacola Beach" are set in red against a gold starburst, the neon backlights of which are animated at night. The main side of the sign instructs motorists to "turn right" for a "scenic drive east along [[Gulf of Mexico]]" and touts the "[[World's Whitest Beaches]]" along with motels and restaurants.
Although located in [[Santa Rosa County]], it is owned and maintained by [[Escambia County]].
