White-sand beaches, a tranquil coastline, and emerald-green water — that’s Navarre Beach, “Florida’s most relaxing place.” Situated west of Destin on Santa Rosa Island, Navarre Beach is the place to go for outdoor recreation, family-friendly attractions, and award-winning seaside dining.
Snorkel and dive the artificial reefs, see the parks, hike, bike, and fish, either from a charter boat or the 1,500-foot Navarre Beach Fishing Pier that towers 30 feet above the water.
Visit the area’s family-friendly parks and attractions, which include the Gulf Breeze Zoo a short drive west of Navarre Beach and Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge. At the Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center, visitors can view interactive exhibits, learn about local wildlife and ecosystems, and see Sweet Pea, the center’s resident sea turtle.
Enjoy local seafood and incredible views of the water at Juana’s Pagodas & Sailors’ Grill, Navarre’s oldest family-owned and -operated restaurant, and Windjammers on the Pier. Catch live music at local restaurants and bars and watch the calendar of events for music shows and festivals.
