Navarre Beach ›

UNCROWDED. UNSPOILED. UNLIKE ANYWHERE ELSE.

Gulf Islands National SeashoreOne of only ten National Seashores in the United States, the Gulf Islands National Seashore offers eight miles of undeveloped beachfront. See towering dunes, iridescent shells, nesting sea turtles, migratory birds and trails through this unique Gulf of Mexico habitat.

Navarre Beach is one of those places that you can’t help but love.

Its uncrowded shores, soft sands and emerald waves have a soothing effect on your soul. Make yourself at home, and enjoy the sand, sun and surf.

Navarre’s White Quartz Sand Tens of thousands of years ago, Navarre Beach was formed by minerals from the Appalachian Mountains. As centuries passed, all other minerals were worn down to dust and washed away, but resilient Quartz remained. Today, Navarre Beach is composed of White Quartz Sand, some of the most pristine sand in the world.

Home is where your nest is. Navarre Beach isn’t just welcoming to humans—it’s home to many nesting sea turtles. In fact, the Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center is located in the Navarre Beach Marine Park.

Save the Sea Turtles If you see a turtle nest, be careful to not disturb it! If you dig anywhere or create holes in the sand, be sure to fill them in, and never leave trash or debris on the beach. Only leave your footprints and let these baby turtles rest up so they have the energy to hatch and make it to the ocean. Learn more about sea turtles and conservation at GetRelaxing.com.

HAPPINESS IS AN UNCROWDED BEACH.

Navarre Artificial ReefsFor those who love snorkeling or diving, there are three cool artificial reef sites to check out beautiful marine life: East Sound Side Reef, West Sound Side Reef and the Gulf Side Reef.Creatures that call our Artificial Reefs “home, sweet home” include coral, turtles, stingrays, fish, octopuses and more!

The Navarre Beach PierTake a long walk on a long pier when you visit the longest fishing pier in Florida. At 1545 ft. long and 30 ft. above the water, the Navarre Beach Pier is an excellent choice for fishing, people-watching or just watching the emerald waves roll in.

Navarre Beach Marine ParkThis park connects three attractions above and below sea level: Navarre Beach Marine Science Station, Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center, and the Navarre Beach Marine Sanctuary and Artificial Reefs. The Marine Science Station is typically a closed classroom, but does open to the public for events.

See the sunrise and sunset from the same spot.For early risers, Navarre’s beaches are the perfect place for watching a beautiful sunrise show. And for those not-so-early risers, you can catch the evening encore performance at sunset. Because we’re parallel with the path of the sun, you’ll always have the best seat in the house on our beaches.

Know the beach warning flags. Our beaches are beautiful, but you still need to stay safe in the sea. Learn what the beach warning flags mean.

Water closed to public due to danger.

Conditions are hazardous due to high surf and/or strong currents.

Medium hazard levels due to surf and/or currents.

Low hazard and calm conditions.

Dangerous marine life such as jellyfish spotted.

The Nation’s First Tree FarmNaval Live Oaks Preserve was established in 1828 as the nation’s first tree farm. At the time, our country’s navy built ships out of sturdy Live Oaks, and President John Quincy Adams recognized the beautiful abundance of them on Navarre Beach, conveniently located near the Pensacola Coastal. To this day, the land is still protected and is the nation’s first and oldest tree farm. Learn more at the Naval Live Oaks Visitor Center.
