Navarre and Navarre Beach
 Tucked
away in the corner of Northwest Florida
is the small beach community of Navarre Beach.
Nestled between Gulf
Islands National Seashore and Navarre
Beach State Park, this beach community offers solitude
and simplicity for nature lovers.
Navarre boasts miles of beautiful shoreline
rated among the best in the nation, year after year. The
sand is so clean and powdery white, it squeaks under your
toes and the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico
are perfect for swimming, snorkeling or boating. The northern
Gulf Coast region of Florida is known for
it’s saltwater fishing and anglers will find flounder,
pompano, cobia, mackerel and many other species of fish.

Nature Walk Park, located near the Navarre Bridge, is
a one mile waterfront boardwalk that includes a children’s
playground, a spring fed fish pond, a butterfly house, as
well as picnic area. The Nature Walk Park hosts a number
of fun festivals and activities during the year. Hundreds
of brightly colored plants, flowers and butterflies occupy
the Panhandle
Butterfly House garden and it is a rare and beautiful
establishment that is unique to the Navarre area.
