Coastal life isn’t all fun and games on the sand – and in the Floridian city of Pensacola this is demonstrated by a sprinkling of coworking venues.

Nestled in the sunshine state’s northwest corner, the city is best known for its pristine, award-winning beaches. But there is also a strong work ethic to be found here, and for the city’s freelancers and self-starters who don’t want to always work from home, coworking often represents an ideal solution. We’ve picked out three of the best coworking spaces that Pensacola has to offer.
WorkSpace225
Situated in Pensacola’s western suburbs, a short drive from the city centre, WorkSpace225 has a choice of solo and shared office suites, with rates starting at $350 per month and no lease required for maximum flexibility. Open 24/7, each of their offices comes fully furnished and lockable. All members also gain access to a number of amenities and services including free parking spaces, phone booths, printing/scanning, a fully-equipped kitchen and complimentary coffee and tea. Offices can also be rented by the day or hour.
