Pensacola Beach Ball Tower, Pensacola Beach, FL
The iconic Pensacola Beach Ball Tower is a major landmark and tourist destination in Pensacola Beach, Florida. Located on the Santa Rosa Island side of the beach, this structure stands as an iconic feature of the city skyline and is visited by thousands of tourists each year. This 65-foot-tall tower, which was built in 2011, consists of five red, white and blue balls that appear to roll one after another down into the water below.
Atop the topmost ball sits a large bronze seagull sculpture which adds a unique flair to the already stunning beachfront scene. The bottom four balls are perched atop white pedestals covered with colorful mosaic tiles, creating an eye-catching contrast against the vibrant hues of the Gulf waters. Visitors can access this landmark from various points around town including QuietWater Beach Boardwalk and Casino Beach Boardwalk. It's also possible to take a boat tour around it!
The striking display has won numerous awards for its impressive design and engineering feats, such as the Outstanding Structures Award from ACEC Florida in 2011 and other architectural accolades. The designers placed its three support columns at specific angles so that they would create an optical illusion when viewed from different angles: if you look at it directly from in front or behind you will see only three columns while if you view it at an angle all five columns are visible. This clever use of perspective makes it a popular selfie backdrop for visitors!
Though not officially open to visitors, many people still enjoy taking pictures and selfies with this beautiful tower as their background. Regardless of how you choose to experience it, one thing is for certain – visit Pensacola Beach and don’t forget to take your photo with this impressive monument!
