Looking to get off the bridge and onto the boat?
We pick up our charter guests directly from the Navarre Beach Boat Ramp at the Causeway. If you want to trade the crowded bridge pilings for the pristine, private grass flats of the Santa Rosa Sound, Book Your Navarre Beach Fishing Charter Here.
The Navarre Beach Causeway (Hwy 399) is the heartbeat of fishing in Navarre, Florida. Connecting the mainland to the white sands of the Gulf, this stretch of water offers some of the most accessible and productive fishing in Santa Rosa County.
Whether you are casting from the shore, the fishing piers, or launching a boat at the Navarre Beach Boat Ramp, the Causeway provides a unique habitat where the currents of the Santa Rosa Sound meet the heavy structure of the bridge pilings.
Top Species at the Causeway
Fishing here changes with the tides and the season. In March and April 2026, we are seeing high activity around these local favorites:
- Sheepshead: Found hugging the concrete pilings of the Navarre Beach Bridge. Use small hooks and live fiddler crabs.
- Speckled Trout: Often caught on the shallow grass flats immediately east and west of the Causeway.
- Redfish: Look for “Bull Reds” cruising the deeper channels under the main bridge span during moving tides.
Navarre Beach Causeway Amenities
For local and visiting anglers, the Causeway is equipped with everything you need for a successful day on the water:
- Navarre Beach Boat Ramp: Located at 1451 Navarre Beach Causeway, this is a high-quality, three-lane ramp with floating docks and ample trailer parking.
- Shore Access: There are several pull-off spots along the Causeway for wade fishing or shore casting.
- Proximity to Local Favorites: After a morning of fishing, we are just steps away from Juana’s Pagodas and Sailors’ Grill—the perfect spot for a post-trip meal.
Our Departure Point: Showintail Inshore Charters
At Showintail Inshore Charters, we call the Causeway home. By launching from the Navarre Beach Boat Ramp, we put you on the fish faster. We specialize in light-tackle inshore trips that explore the secret holes and grass flats that are unreachable from the shore.
Why launch from the Causeway with us?
- Immediate Access: We are in the “honey holes” of the Santa Rosa Sound within 5 minutes of leaving the dock.
- Calm Waters: The Causeway area is protected from heavy Gulf swells, making it the ideal starting point for family-friendly fishing trips and kids’ adventures.
- Local Expert Guide: Captain Bryant Modlin has spent years patterning the fish around these specific bridge structures and flats.
Plan Your 2026 Visit
