Butterfly House and Navarre Park

grandmaR Says: A big attraction of Navarre Beach is the beach with the white sand. People compare the sand to sugar, but since we were there in the winter, it reminded us of snow.Although the websites say that the beaches have been cleared of debris, and there seem to be toilets available...

The Beach Condominium: Room with a view
kyoub Says: I would reccommend this condominium and Navarre Beach to anyone that enjoys the beach and natural surroundings. We loved the view from our sitting room. We could relax and still see the Gulf of Mexico thru our sliding glass door.
The Beach Condominiums: On the beach
kyoub Says: Just as the name implys this condiminium is located right on the beach. Each condo is privately owned and rented out when the owner is not using it.We like the space that they offer and having our own kitchen. Not that we ever cook but we can fill the fridge with sodas and...

grandmaR Says: Access to the Navarre beaches on the barrier island was by toll bridge. But after three hurricanes (Dennis and Ivan in 2004 and Katrina in 2005, many out of area contractors were needed to do repair work. For rebuilding operations, the contractors need easy access to the...

kyoub Says: June 1 through November 30 is hurricane season so if you are here during that time period it wouldn't hurt to get a weather report from time to time.If a storm is headed your way, you will have plenty of time to get out of harms way.
kyoub Says: Other than jellyfish, there isn't much to be concerned about in the gulf. Most of the marine life is much more worried about you than you should be of it.Still a good rule to follow is: If you don't know what it is, don't pick it up.
kyoub Says: The south is blessed fire ants that build mounds in front yards, in parks, and on beaches. Their bite is painful and leave nasty looking blisters. Shoes and socks wont prevent them from running up your legs but they are better than stepping on them with bare feet. It is just...
kyoub Says: Navarre Beach is known for its rolling sand dunes that look solid but are in a constant state of change. They are made of lighter grains of sand blown onto the barrier island by offshore winds. Stay on the boardwalks and off of the dunes.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Although snow is nearly unheard of, it gets cool enough for a jacket in December and January, especially if you go for a walk on the beach. Summers are hot,hot,hot. Thank goodness for the ocean breeze. January and July are the wettest months usually but the showers only last about 15-20 minutes.
Miscellaneous: Don't forget the sunscreen. Florida sun is hotter than most places in the US. Add to that the reflection off the water and the white sand and you could be headed for trouble without it.

Favorite thing: As we drove up and down the beach road, Bob remarked that some types of construction seemed to be more easily damaged than others. But we couldn't really tell if the buildings that looked unscathed were really built better, or if they had just been repaired first.
Vinyl siding didn't seem to fare as well as wood. Metal roof components seemed to be partly covered with plywood or blue plastic (see road scenes travelogue).
But this little building seemed to be all right.
