Translated from Spanish as "Lost Island," Perdido Key is a treasure trove of rare flora and fauna. Often no more than a few hundred feet across along nearly sixteen miles of coastline between Pensacola and Orange Beach, AL, Perdido Key is home to many protected species, like sea oats and the endangered Perdido Key beach mouse. The area is revered as one of the best places to take in panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico, and outdoor spaces like the Perdido Key and Big Lagoon State Recreation Areas make return trips an inevitability. The island is also close to beach access points of the Gulf Island National Seashore, luring more and more first-time visitors each year.
