Beaches to Rivers: the Region
Whether you’re traveling I-10’s convenient east-west route across northwest Florida or taking the more scenic and coast-hugging Highway 98, Navarre Beach is centrally located between Pensacola Beach and Fort Walton/Destin. While easily accessible from all of the Emerald Coast’s popular tourist spots, Navarre Beach offers an unmatched escape into a secluded vacation atmosphere where "old Florida" is alive and well.
Our Beaches to Rivers Parkway (Florida Hwy. 87) begins at Navarre Beach and Gulf Islands National Seashore and heads northward through centuries of history and diverse eco-systems in a short 25-mile drive toward historic Milton. Just follow Hwy. 87 north and Highway 90 west.
A Great Place to Visit—and to Live
Guests say they come back because they feel like locals, not tourists. That’s because our "old Florida" atmosphere includes a centuries-old tradition of hospitality. Those of us who live here have chosen this area for many of the same reasons our guests do—unspoiled natural beauty, the preservation of history, the sense of a timeless escape that’s somehow convenient to everything.
