…considered by many to be one of Florida's best-kept secrets - a gem of a community located directly on the snow-white beaches and emerald-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Navarre began as a tiny fishing and farming village, but today it is one of the fastest-growing areas in Northwest Florida, each year, more and more people discover Navarre's beauty and make it their vacation home away from home.

Visit Navarre, and you'll find all the amenities of a classic Florida vacation, without the traffic jams. Those who love the natural beauty of the outdoors will find a paradise in Navarre. As part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, Navarre Beach includes miles of undeveloped beaches, where the Gulf of Mexico laps gently against soft, pure sands of the shores. Navarre Beach was rated one of the best beaches in the nation by the University of Maryland's Laboratory for Coastal Research. Researchers gave Navarre Beach high marks for sand softness, water and air temperatures, number of sunny days and gentle currents. Navarre Beach also earned high marks for its lack of litter, pests and crowds.

The miles of unspoiled beaches offer endless opportunities for recreational fun on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Ride the surf on boards and kayaks, build sandcastles, walk for miles without seeing anyone or just relax and soak up the sun.

Scuba divers and snorkelers delight in the beauty below the sea, where the breathtaking beauty of natural and artificial reefs are visible from ranges of five to 15 feet.

Boating enthusiasts can climb aboard charter boats offering guided tours, as well as fishing. Visitors with their own vessel can launch from the public park at the foot of Navarre bridge or from the island, and the protected waters of the Santa Rosa Sound provide safe boating for novices as well as pros. On the island, local rental shops offer sailboats, jet skis, windsurfing, paddle boats and parasail rides, and also provide lessons which can have the most inexperienced visitor navigating the waters with confidence. In nearby Milton, dubbed the “Canoeing Capital of the World”, visitors can rent canoes, kayaks and tubes for exciting excursions on the beautiful waters of the Blackwater, Sweetwater/Juniper and the Coldwater rivers.

The area's salt and fresh water offers an abundant bounty for fishing. In the Gulf, anglers will reap pompano, flounder, cobia, king and Spanish mackerel, white trout, flounder and many others. On the rivers, fly rod enthusiasts will delight in the fierce fight put up by bass and bluegill and others. Those who enjoy fishing as a competition will also find many opportunities, with salt and freshwater tournaments common from May through October.

Although the area's water is impressive, land-lovers aren't left out of the fun. Golf courses offer exquisite and challenging greens with more than 40 golf courses between Gulf Shores and Destin, and several within minutes of Navarre.
