Navarre Beach, Florida
Navarre Beach is on the Panhandle of Florida, and its beauty will seduce you to discover its uniqueness.
Navarre Beach is a public beach that is quiet and uncrowded with unspoiled sand and oat grasses. You can explore its rich beauty of wonderland turquoise waters and white powdery sands.
It is time to get the family together and make new memories or take your sweetheart to enjoy a quiet time with them. There is plenty to do in this area. I will list a few and a link so you can explore.
Beaches on the Gulf of Mexico are known for their beauty. They have beautiful blue waters and white sand.
Gulf Island National Sea Shore is one of the ten National shores in the United States. It is white sand and water. It will blind you looking at it for a time. I have to admit that it freaked me out when I first saw it. No buildings. No people. Then I saw people riding bicycles. The sand meeting the water has a blinding effect.
Navarre Beach Marine Park has a sea turtle conservation center. I would love to watch the turtles hatch and go into the water. This would be great. I have only seen this on TV. You also have the Marine Science Station and Sanctuary, which are excellent for diving and snorkeling at any level of experience.
St Michael’s Brewing Company with European-style beer to honor those who protect our land. This is a great place to eat and drink.
You can rent equipment, dive, snorkel, and see the fantastic reefs, turtles, and dolphins. There are many other activities listed on the website.

Fishing is always where the ocean is. You can fish off the pier or go deep-sea fishing. If you fish off the dock, watch out for the Kellogg birds. LOL. There are plenty of charters and boat tours on TripAdvisor.
Rich culture and history in Navarre and Milton
Milton is the town over from Navarre, and many people rent bikes and ride on the trails from one city to the other. Milton is known as the Canoe Capitol. Carpenter’s Park has a launch pad into the water where you can do water sports. The town has eateries, museums, and a 1912 theatre. sandee.com
Milton is a historic town known for its friendly people and comfortable place to stay. You can visit the Riverwalk along the scenic Blackwater River. Make an itinerary to see family-friendly attractions like the West Florida Railroad Museum. It will give you knowledge of the railroad. It also offers train rides for the kids. A Butterfly House and Nature Center are also among my favorites. I love to feel the butterflies on my hands and hair as they fly around.
Milton is so beautiful; it has the famous Blackwater Heritage State Trail to bike and hike, or you can go to Blackwater River State Park and enjoy some tubing down the river. If you prefer to canoe or kayak, that is great. There are many beaches here.
There is a more experienced 100-mile bike ride from Historical Milton to the North End of Navarra Beach. It is for all levels of riding. You do not have to be an expert. It brings a sense of community and closeness to people. New friendships are made.
Of course, every central town has a zoo—The Gulf Breeze Zoo. This zoo contains 1000 animals in their natural habitats, and you can see them in three ways. You can interact with them by train, boardwalk, or walking.

This place is so great. It is a water park, and it also has a heated pool.
The accommodations are old-fashioned cottages or wagons, or you can bring your RV. The old-fashioned wagons are fantastic. Sleeps 4. I would stay here. They have events. Look at their website to see what they are having.

This is a great place to spend one or two weeks. There is plenty to do, especially if you like the outdoors. I have been here, and it is gorgeous. There are other towns to get out and visit also. Pensacola and Fort Walton Beach are the nearest to it.
I've only visited this area once and loved it. Your post is a great reminder to stop there again on my travels. You're definitely right about that blinding sand/sea combination!
I love the national seashore! Thank you for sharing.
