Back Story
Avalon Landing RV Park Pensacola, (located South of I-10 Exit 22 at 2444 Avalon Blvd., Milton FL 32583) provides the rare combination of being a waterfront RV park that features onsite saltwater fishing.
It’s located on a picturesque and environmentally protected saltwater inlet off Escambia Bay now called Indian Bayou. It was originally named Monterey Bay by the Spanish, the first Europeans to settle this area where native Panzacola Indians had for hundreds of years before thrived on the area’s abundant sea life and wildlife.
Indian Bayou, from its Escambia Bay inlet to its tidal-influenced estuary headwaters, has always been known as a rich habitat for a variety of saltwater fish and crustaceans.
Besides Blue Crabs, there is a variety of gamefish to angle for year-round such as Flounder, Speckled Trout (Spotted Sea Trout), and the renowned Red Fish (Red Drum), considered by many the most feisty and tasty local gamefish.
So, in 2007 when Avalon Landing RV Park Pensacola was being developed on the former site of the long-time Indian Bay Marina, the beautiful Red Fish was the obvious choice for its logo since its RV guests would soon enjoy catching and cooking them (such as ‘Blackened Redfish’).
With the completion of the East side of Avalon Landing RV Park Pensacola (Phase II) our RV guests can now fish for saltwater gamefish or ‘crab’ from the Park’s onsite ‘Bridge’ pier (where no fishing licenses are required). RV guests with licenses may also take advantage of our available kayaks or canoes or guests may always ‘bring your own’, all launchable from our Park’s onsite small boat ramp. Guests needing gear may also check out loaner fishing outfits from our office.
