Navarre was once called Florida’s “Best Kept Secret,” but the word is out and the town of Navarre’s residential growth has more than doubled over the past ten years. Located on Florida’s north Gulf Coast (the “Emerald Coast,”) it is undoubtedly the sun, sand and surf that most attracts visitors and newcomers to this lovely town that is located off the beaten path. Navarre, also called Navarre Beach, has beaches that have been ranked as the best in the country for their beauty, safety and cleanliness. This is a great place for anyone who loves to explore the outdoors, and Santa Rosa County is known as the “Canoe Capital of Florida,” with the largest concentration of excellent canoeing rivers in the state. Navarre Beach State Park has nature trails for hiking and biking, picnic shelters, a canoe launch and camping, while the Navarre Nature Walk Park has a one-mile waterfront boardwalk along the Santa Rosa Sound. Nearby Blackwater River State Forest is the largest state forest in Florida, with over 190,000 acres of woodlands, lakes and streams for hiking, camping, swimming, canoeing, fishing, wildlife viewing, biking and horseback riding. The opportunities for fun and adventure are endless in the Navarre region. When you finally tire of the outdoors, there’s shopping in outlet centers and unique boutiques, and eating in some of the best seafood restaurants in the state. Accommodations in and around Navarre include hotels, beach cottages, vacation homes and condos.
The Northwest Florida Panhandle, in the region known as the "Emerald Coast," enjoys warm temperatures year round. The state of Florida, as a whole, is among the wettest states in the U.S., receiving at least 50 inches of rain annually, and the Panhandle region has the most rain of anyplace in the state. However, many of these showers and thunderstorms pass quickly and the sunshine prevails. Tropical winds from the south, along with the Gulf and abundant rain, create hot, humid conditions May through September. The rest of the year is much more comfortable, with mild days and cool nights, less humidity and less rain. Hurricane season officially lasts August through October, but most of these storms blow into the Atlantic and miss Florida entirely. In the case when one does reach shore, ample warning time is generally given for these storms.
