Breakfast
Our personal favorite for breakfast! You cannot go wrong with brisket breakfast tacos with avocado. They also have a Cuban sandwich (only on Sundays) with Mojo pork that is slow-roasted overnight and is SO good that it usually sells out before 10 am!

By the name we never expected them to have breakfast! We were so wrong though. This is a popular spot in Navarre for breakfast, and it is only right around the corner. Come with an appetite because the portions are huge and delicious. Great place for a classic breakfast.

Sightseeing/Fun Activities
This is our absolute favorite recommendation. At the end of Navarre Beach, you will transition to the Gulf Islands National Seashore. The road will continue for 7 miles of undeveloped land, with the Santa Rosa Sound on the right and the Gulf of Mexico on the left. On a clear, calm day you see bright blue water popping out behind the white sand dunes throughout the journey and your feel like you have been dropped off on a tropical island. They have 2 parking lots, so you can enjoy this secluded, quiet beach! Just be sure to get there early because they fill up.

Right after crossing the Navarre bridge to Navarre beach, turn left. You will then have the option to park in one of the many public (free) parking lots to the left (Sound side) or to the right (Gulf). On a calm day, we love to swim in the gulf, but the sound is an awesome option especially when the gulf water is rough (red flag day).
