7 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Navarre That You Shouldn't Miss
Navarre is a Census-designated place and unincorporated community in Santa Rosa County in the northwest Florida Panhandle. It is a bedroom community for mostly U.S. Military personnel, Federal Civil Servants, local population, retirees and defense contractors. Due to its proximity to Navarre Beach and its four miles of beach front on the Gulf of Mexico as well as the Gulf Islands National Seashore, it has a small, but growing community of nature enthusiasts and tourists.

We are the oldest and only original cottage still standing in Navarre. We have something for everyone! Our philosophy is no matter how torn down we can be, everyone or anything can be restored with enough love!

This is an absolutely lovely local store that carriers local artist and a large variety of specialty items. We stopped for a look around after driving by for a long time. I am glad we did. The staff was so kind and had time for a chat. We purchased a few items and could have bought more but restrained ourselves. Now we have a reason to go back. The inventory changes, as do the artist. Stop here and enjoy this wonderful little shop with a heart.

We took 3 of our children (12, 14, & 17yo) to Escape Zone 60 to play the Houdini Escape as a birthday celebration. We were paired with another family & had a great time working together. We didn’t escape, but got to the last clue & had fun. ???? Highly recommend!

The Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center's goal is to impress upon the community the importance of sea turtle conservation and the preservation of the world’s marine resources for the enjoyment of future generations. We accomplish this through education and hands on learning experiences and inspire individuals by showing them that one person can make a difference not only locally but also globally. Conservation and protection of threatened and endangered sea turtles through community education programs and partnered research is our mission.

My wife and I had the opportunity to visit Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center as an activity to do on our way home from an anniversary trip in Destin. It is very much worth it to book the hands-on, private tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and taught us many things we never knew know before visiting. Seeing and learning about the resident sea turtle Sweet Pea, feeding 2 of the outside turtles Safari and Flip Flop, as well as the other portions of the tour made this a great encounter. If you or anyone in your family love animals this makes it an awesome place to visit, young or old. We actually enjoyed our trip to the NBSTCC more than our visit to the Destin Gulfarium just 2 days before. The dolphins, penguin, and other animals at the Gulfarium are neat but none of that really compares to the experience you’ll get with a private tour of Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center. Don’t let the small size of this place fool you! The center is packed with tons of great information and is an adventure like no other. It’s a must if you’re ever in the area.

Love to visit this shop! We come here every year. The prices are great... and she has tons of souvenirs packed into that little gift shop. Lots of shells, gift sets, breakables, cups, etc.. lower prices than other shops around. The cashier was super sweet and took lots of time to carefully wrap and pack our souvenirs.
