I live in Pensacola Florida in the very tip of Florida.

Your choices of what is going to do well in the full sun, depend on the intensity of the sun. What does well up north is not going to make it down south. Impatiens for example. I can grow impatiens in full sun early in the spring in Texas, but they must have shade by the time summer gets here.
location, location, location....
ok. Pensacola. If you like shorter stuff, then things like purslane or portulacca do well. Periwinkles (sometimes called vinca) are fairly short, about a foot and a half. Lantanas, both the trailing and upright will thrive in the hottest conditioins. Bigger stuff like hibiscus and esparanza are nice around patio areas and beds. Don't forget about the viney ones like sweet potato, mandevilla and even bougainvillea, though it is really thorny. Leafy stuff like bananas can be used in a mixed container too. The Florida link has a long list of recommendations for your area.
The toughest of the bunch I mentioned is probably Bougainvillea, it is damn near bulletproof, in fact too much water is its worst enemy.
