If you are looking for a calm beach are for your toddler, this is the place. Not your typical beach but a great alternative to big waves.

Originally set aside to preserve the majestic, live oak trees for the masts on ships, this historical area is a must see! From the beautiful sugar-white sand beaches of Navarre & Pensacola beaches along Santa Rosa Sound, the Inter-coastal waterway and Gulf to Fort Pickens historically preserved bunkers, this area is magnificent!

Not much there except picnic areas and a walk on the sound. The boy scouts camp there but not open for camping for the public. Stop there for a great view of the sound.

That's about all I can say. Love the whole Navarre Beach area - history, saving for the future, and beauty.

I learned some things that I never knew concering how lumber was obtained for war ships over 100 years ago. As a history buff I was pleased to learn more about our country. This is worth stopping at for a rest stop and learning experence.
