Bruce Beach is a park under construction in Pensacola, Florida. It was formerly an industrial area and was once home to a pool for African American residents. In 2023 it is undergoing revitalization. It was once a gathering spot for the area's African American residents.
Bruce Beach had a swimming pool until the 1970s. A pedestrian bridge over Washerwoman Creek is planned to connect the park to Community Maritime Park. Signage addressing the history is also planned.
