National ParksGulf Islands National Seashore State Parks
Navarre Beach State Park is home to one of the most popular fishing destinations along the Emerald Coast. Anglers catch cobia, redfish, mackerel, flounder, bonita, Gulf kingfish, and Florida pompano from the park's 800-foot pier. Walkers visit the pier to see coastal and aquatic wildlife such as bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays, and a variety of shorebirds. A multi-use trail provides access for bicycling, jogging, in-line skating, and wildlife viewing. Beach visitors can sunbathe, swim in the blue-green waters, or watch a stunning sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. A concession at the base of the fishing pier offers drinks, snacks, ice cream, and fishing amenities. |

TrailsThe Blackwater Heritage State Trail, a 7.0 miles, non-motorized paved trail is mostly a rural trail with only a few dwellings at some of the cross roads. There are some nice creek crossings on wooden bridges with few hills or grades. This is a pleasant trip for the whole family with lots of access and safe riding.
