About PARASOL WEST
Parasol West sits on the western stretch of Perdido Key, a narrow barrier island in Escambia County between the Gulf of Mexico and the Intracoastal Waterway. The neighborhood offers a mix of single-family homes and low-rise residences suited to full-time residents and second-home owners alike. Its location near the Alabama state line puts Ono Island and the Flora-Bama area within easy reach, while Johnson's Beach and the Gulf Islands National Seashore are just a short drive east. Neighboring communities like Yacht Harbor, Sharp Reef, and Siguenza Cove share the same laid-back, beach-town character. Parasol West appeals to buyers wanting distance from the busier east-end high-rises while staying close to sand, water, and everyday conveniences along Perdido Key Drive. It's a practical choice for those seeking a quieter slice of the island without giving up beach access or boating culture.
