If you want an easy, unforgettable experience, a private dolphin tour or sunset cruise
is one of the best things to do in Navarre Beach. Calm water, great views, and plenty of photo moments make this a
favorite for families, couples, and groups.
2) Inshore Fishing Charters (Great for Families & Beginners)
Want to do something uniquely “Navarre”? Book a private inshore fishing charter. Inshore trips are a
great fit for beginners and kids because the water is often calmer and the pacing can be tailored to your group.

conditions.

3) Beach Day: Swim, Relax, Shell Hunt
Sometimes the best plan is a classic Navarre Beach day—swim, relax, enjoy the white sand, and walk the shoreline.

Pro tip: bring water, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a towel; and plan to catch a sunset if you can.
