May 2024 Tourism Insider

 
 
Tourism Insider
 
Summer has arrived, and with it, a new wave of tourists. Our office has been making the most of the warm weather and the still somewhat serene beaches to gather fresh content for the upcoming season.
 
This summer, look forward to vibrant new images and engaging stories on our social media platforms, capturing the essence of our beautiful locale. Additionally, you’ll notice more visitors enjoying the newly resurfaced multi-use path on Gulf Blvd. The smooth pavement, perfect for biking along the beach, enhances the experience for both locals and tourists.
 
We are proud to announce that this project, which cost $85,000, was funded by our office. We are delighted with the results and eagerly anticipate more beautification projects in the near future. Stay tuned for updates on our continued efforts to enhance and beautify our community!
 
Warm Regards,
Santa Rosa County Tourist Development Office

Get excited to meet Martha, a 13-year-old local of Navarre Beach with immense talent and an inspiring story. Born with ABS syndrome, she's overcome her challenges and embraced her love for knitting! She's been crafting Sweet Pea, a beloved sea turtle from Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center, as they share limb differences. Not to mention, she's also created other adorable sea creatures available for purchase locally.
 
You can snatch up one of her unique pieces at Saltwater Cottage, Navarre Florists, or the Conservation Center. But remember, her special Sweet Pea creations are exclusive to the Conservation Center!
