Perdido Key beaches 5.14.10

This past Friday I went out to the beach to record the waves washing up on the shoreline.  Good news, as expected here in Perdido Key, everything is more beautiful than ever!  There is no oil, the sand is still sugar-white and the sunshine this time of year makes it warm on my feet.  The water was somewhere in the upper 70's farenheit, so it is great for playing in the surf and a couple folks told me of great fishing during the past week.  Check out the video to see for yourself...

Oil Spill Travel Updates from Perdido Key, Florida (Continued)

The beaches in Perdido Key remain unaffected and are as beautiful as ever.  The only problem we have experienced as a result of the oil spill is negative media.  Many people are not getting the latest information on the spill or even have incorrect information, thus if you would like to follow this with us please use the official site of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office of Response and Restoration .  Scroll down to the bottom of the site to open the Trajectory Maps.  These maps are updated daily and have helped to reaffirm that it is business as usual here in Perdido Key and we have good reason to believe that it will remain that way. In addition to the NOAA site, luckily, we have a proactive Chamber of Commerce and yesterday (5.13.10) they Continue reading

Oil Spill Update for guests with future reservations in Perdido Key 5.6.10

The information from NOAA is telling us that the “latest trajectory forecast shows a potential for westward movement of the oil” ( NOAA’s Office of Response and Restoration website ).  Though this is looking more dismal for Louisiana, this is welcomed news for Perdido Key and Pensacola.  And what about their industries which often factor into the enjoyment of our visitor’s vacations? In regards to the impact this is having in industries other than tourism; the charter fishing for our area has not been shut down.  The Federal waters have been restricted as a precautionary measure, but not the State waters ( NOAA Fisheries Service ).  I spoke with Darlene at Aqua Venture Charters (850-492-0003) today and was informed that charters are still allowed Continue reading

Thank goodness that this oil spill is not affecting Perdido Key and though the impact may travel far east from the original leak the local news is telling us that we are in the clear at least through the weekend.  There is no oil on the Pensacola Beach and no oil in Perdido Key.  No tar balls and no oil sheen on the beaches here in Perdido.   Currently, those who are staying in the Perdido Key area are enjoying our white sand beaches and 80 plus degree weather.  The weather forecast is looking good for the next ten days and with a little luck it will continue to trend in the same direction.  We are happy that nothing has washed ashore and we hoping that it stays that way!
