  Navarre Beach, located in Santa Rosa County in northwest Florida, features eight miles of shoreline that is underdeveloped and protected by the federal government. The water in the Gulf of Mexico is clear and emerald in color with beaches of sugar-white sands. The community is small and family friendly; however, there are no pet-friendly hotels. The nearby town of Milton has pet-friendly lodging and features outdoor activities, such as the Blackwater Heritage State Trail, which welcomes pets to join in the fun. The nearby city of Destin also has pet-friendly lodging.
