PERDIDO KEY, Fla.--()--The Perdido Key Visitors Center today launched a seven-day Florida beaches vacation sweepstakes, “Get Lost on the Lost Key,” that will award a free Florida vacation including seven days and nights at the Palacio resort, $500 in American Express gift cards; family sightseeing dolphin tour; passes to the IMAX theater inside the National Museum of Aviation; $200 dining voucher and more.
Perdido Key’s tourism industry suffered after last year's oil spill, and the Florida vacation sweepstakes was conceived by the Perdido Key, FL Visitors Center and funded by BP as a way to bring awareness to the Florida beaches of Perdido Key. Located near the Alabama gulf coast and no more than a few hundred yards wide in most places, Perdido Key, FL stretches 16 miles long, with almost 60 percent located in Florida federal and state parks. Perdido Key's literal translation means "Lost Key," so named by the early Spanish who discovered it in 1693.
Free vacation rules and registration are at www.getlostonthelostkey.com or www.Facebook.com/iloveperdidokey.
The Florida beaches of Perdido Key are the ideal gulf coast of Florida vacation destination, offering breathtaking natural beauty and rare wildlife. The Perdido Key island is located between Pensacola, FL and Orange Beach and Gulf Shores on the Alabama gulf coast. With an average temperature of 75 degrees and 343 days of sunshine, it's not surprising that Perdido Key is a long-hidden retreat that blends together both year-round outdoor activities and an authentic laid-back lifestyle uniquely its own.
