So peaceful and not touristy! Not very many dining options on the beach. You will have to drive back over the bridge to Navarre. This is what makes it so calm. I much prefer this beach over Pensacola! So much more relaxed and less party-party.

Absolutely gorgeous and less crowded than Pensacola Beach. Our rental was within a 3 minute walk or with options of a drive 20-45 minute drive to multiple other beaches. A less expensive area to stay than what is available closer to Pensacola.

Beach was well groomed, sand clean and white. Water was warm and enjoyable to all. Plenty of area to set up canopies. Overall a fantastic experience. Went to Pensacola beach and Navarre beach was definitely better and less crowded

The beach was pristine. We walked up and down the beach and loved looking at the beach goers and the small fish and sting rays in the ocean. Another couple said the saw dolphins and sea turtles the day before. It was so pretty and saw two protected areas for the sea turtles. We did both the beach and sound side so relaxing. First time and loved it.

We are so surprised that this beach is nearly empty at the end of August! We heard it is only crowded in June, July and Spring Break. So we packed our water, our umbrella, and walked down the boardwalk to the most beautiful white sand of the Gulf of Mexico. Our rental is on the Gulf side, so we had the waves and the gorgeous emerald colors in the water. No dogs are allowed. A life guard patrols in a 4 wheeler or an SUV. The sand is raked by tractors every day near 8 am. Everyone takes their own chairs back to their own boardwalk so they are not raked up. And everyone picks up after themselves! What a concept!
