Navarre Beach

Florida's Hidden Gem

While Florida is home to many tourist-friendly beaches, Navarre Beach is the perfect destination for those looking to escape the crowds. Navarre Beach is located just east of Pensacola, on a long, thin strip called Santa Rosa Island on the Gulf of Mexico. The town of Navarre is currently one of the fastest growing places in Florida due to its beautiful surroundings. However, it's still relatively unknown when compared to the larger resort communities in the state.

Beautiful Beaches

The beaches are the main draw in Navarre, with their picture-perfect blue water and clean sand. There are plenty of public beach sites in the area, or you can venture to the Gulf Islands National Seashore, which is home to many protected species of marine life (plus lots of peace and quiet). If you enjoy a more lively experience, be sure to check out Navarre Beach Pier, which is one of the largest piers on the Gulf of Mexico.

Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center

Only 0.5 miles away is The Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center (NBSTCC) is a working conservation and education center open to the public on Navarre Beach, Florida. Founded in 2013 through grassroots community involvement, the NBSTCC's mission is to conserve and protect threatened and endangered sea turtles through community education and partnered research.

As a predominately volunteer run organization, NBSTCC operates a 2,010 square foot conservation and education center open to the public year-round.Through the doors of the NBSTCC, guests enter the main pool exhibit featuring a 15,000-gallon saltwater pool, home to Sweet Pea, a non-releasable green sea turtle, and ambassador-in-residence of the NBSTCC. For many guests, Sweet Pea is the first sea turtle they have seen, and her story tells of the dangers, and promise, that human choices have on this imperiled species.
