Sightseeing
We love the pristine white sand, secluded beaches of the Navarre Beach and Gulf Islands National Seashore. The natural beaches never seem to be crowded and are only about a half hour drive from the house. Be sure to check out the natural beauty of these beaches!

You have to check this little gem out. It is like walking back in time to a Mayberry grocery store. You’ll experience the charm and feel of an old time grocery while enjoying all of the modern amenities you want and expect. There is a full service gourmet deli, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, as well as a pretty sweet little coffee shop and artwork from local artists! You don’t want to miss this one!
