Beach Activities
- Beach Safety
- Beach Warning Flags
- Beach at night* Experiencing Navarre Beach at night time is lots of fun for kids. When the sun goes down the Ghost Crabs come out on Navarre Beach. Don't be alarmed; these guys are small, relatively harmless and very much afraid of you. Ghost Crabs get their name from the fact that they come out at night and are white. White flashlights are very disorienting to our nesting Sea Turtles (see below). For that reason, Dune Dreams provides 2 red flashlights (located in the beach closet just inside our unit entrance) for guest use. You can also download red light apps for your smartphone.
- Sea Turtle Nesting Season White flashlights are very disorienting to our nesting Sea Turtles and can cause Sea Turtle false crawls. For that reason, only red lights are allowed on the beach after dark. Dune Dreams provides 2 red flashlights (located in the beach closet just inside our unit entrance) for guest use. You can also download red light apps for your smartphone. Be sure to knock over any sandcastles you have built and fill in all holes you have dug. Large holes are a danger, not only to Sea Turtles but to humans as well.
- Navarre Fishing Pier* The longest fishing pier in the Gulf of Mexico with expansive views of the beach and marine life. Anyone can rent fishing poles and bait at the entrance to the pier (about $20 per person). $1 per person to walk on the pier.
- Shelling* Free and easy! The best times are early in the morning or after a storm. The best places are around the Fishing Pier or west of Navarre Beach, just into the Gulf Islands National Seashore.
