Navarre

About

This beautiful beach town on the Emerald Coast is located roughly halfway between Destin and Pensacola. Its proximity to Eglin AFB, Hurlburt Field, and Naval Air Station Pensacola makes it known as a military bedroom community. Home to 12 miles of pristine beaches, this quiet town is seemingly off the tourism radar and enjoys a much slower pace than its neighbors on either side. Navarre is a barrier island and is bordered by the Gulf waters on one side and the Santa Rosa Sound on the other. Fishing, boating, and all manner of “salt-life” activities are a part of life in Navarre.

Neighbors

Most of Navarre’s residents are military families, retirees, and federal contractors. This is a quiet, family-friendly locale with a super laid-back vibe.

Neighborhood Feel

Big Plus

Navarre enjoys the same powdery white sand and turquoise waters that draw thousands to Destin, minus the tourists. Navarre’s beaches are pretty much “locals only.”

Most of Navarre’s military residents will be commuting to Hurlburt Field, but driving to Eglin AFB is also reasonable.

Large homes on half-acre lots are commonly found in Navarre.

The Santa Rosa School District has a great reputation among many military spouses.

Things to Consider

This residential area gets very sleepy during the off season, and a lot of the restaurants and shops close up for the winter.

Commuting from Navarre can be hard because of the traffic. There’s only one main artery that leads to Hurlburt Field and Eglin AFB, and that can get quite congested as you approach the base. You’ll also be driving into that bright Florida sun on the way to work and on the way home.
