Outdoor
Navarre Beach is a beautiful beach on the Gulf of Mexico. It’s very clean, has bathroom facilities and outdoor showers. What sets Navarre Beach apart from the other Gulf beaches on the panhandle is it has very limited commercial business, isn’t “touristy” and is never overcrowded. Despite all this there are a couple restaurants/ bars/ convenience stores. There’s plenty of free parking right up to the sand. You won’t find yourself driving around looking for a spot. A convenient drive from the home that takes approximately 11-13 mins. Always a favorite of ours and a big reason we chose Navarre as the place to buy a home.

City advice
Getting around
Driving
Hwy 98 is the main thoroughfare and the Navarre Beach bridge takes you to “the island” which is where the Gulf beach is located.
