The bay, an inlet of the Gulf of Mexico, is located in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties, adjacent to the city of Pensacola, and is about 13 miles (21 km) long and 2.5 miles (4 km) wide.

The Pensacola Bay Bridge crosses the bay, connecting Gulf Breeze to Pensacola. The Gulf Islands National Seashore is part of the bay, and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway runs through part of the bay. Pensacola Bay leads into Escambia Bay to the north, and to the East Bay.
