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.

It’s horrible how great it is for just relaxing. If more people come here there will be more traffic for me as a Floridian. Beach is great. Calm on some days and not so calm on others. Just check the webcam. I agree go to Pensacola or destin so we can enjoy how pristine the beach experience is. The sound side is great as well.

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.

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.
