FLORIDA PLACES AND DESTINATIONS - NAVARRE

Navarre Florida

Among Florida’s treasured barrier islands, Navarre Beach is a natural retreat for tourists. Nestled between Gulf Islands National Seashore and Navarre Beach State Park, Its pristine beaches are named among the best in the US year after year.

Navarre Beach’s 12 miles of shoreline boast sand so clean and powdery white it literally squeaks under traveler’s toes.

Navarre itself is located near several large military facilities: Naval Air Station Pensacola to the west and Hurlburt Field and Eglin Air Force Base to the east. A boardwalk, park, and butterfly house are located near the bridge to Navarre Beach, which is immediately across Santa Rosa Sound to the south.




Gulf Islands National Seashore offers nature lovers eight miles of federally protected, undeveloped shoreline – the longest continuous stretch of protected beach in Northwest Florida, perfect for
sun seekers, birdwatchers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Equally inviting to tourists is Navarre Beach State Park – 130 acres of beautiful beach, lush wetlands, and native vegetation.

Navarre Beach State Park rangers envision offer an array of educational programs, ranging from walking tours to Junior Ranger programs to fishing contests.
