The Navarre Beach Pier sits at 8579 Gulf Boulevard, next to the main public parking, just east of the causeway landing. Santa Rosa County bills it as the longest pier on the Gulf. You can walk it for a dollar or fish it with admission that covers Florida’s saltwater license while you are on the pier. Phone listed with the pier: 850-710-3239. Hours move with the season and with weather. Call if you drove an hour for sunrise.
Hours
Santa Rosa County’s pier directory listing (as of this writing) shows:
| Summer | 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. |
|---|---|
| Winter (listed as current on the staff directory page we saw) | 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. |
| Thanksgiving / Christmas | 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. |
Local coverage said winter hours of 5 a.m.–8 p.m. began November 2, 2025. Summer hours return on a county schedule, not on our hunches. If you are standing here in August, expect summer hours — and still confirm, because storms close this deck.
Admission (county pier page)
Fishing admission includes the fishing license:
| Adult fishing | $7 |
|---|---|
| Seniors and active-duty military fishing | $6 |
| Youth 15 and under fishing | $4 |
| Ages 5 and under fishing | Free |
| Walking | $1; ages 5 and under free |
| Disabled veterans / mobility and visually impaired | Free, per the county page. Accessible ramp; 16 accessible railing locations. |
Weekly and annual passes are sold at the pier store. County figures we recorded: weekly adult fishing $45, senior/military $40, youth $25, walking $5. Annual adult fishing $150, senior 65+ $100, youth under 16 $75, active-duty $100, family $300 (spouse and children, max 5, kids under 18), annual walking $60.
Those pass prices are the kind of thing a commission can change. The live page is Pier Admission.
What to bring
- Cash or whatever the store is actually taking that day — do not assume.
- A way to rig for Spanish mackerel, king, cobia, and the usual bottom fish without thinking this paragraph is a seasonal forecast. Look at what is being walked off the deck.
- Pliers, a rag, sunscreen, water. There is a store; it is not your warehouse.
- If you only want the walk: $1, stay out of the way of people with bent rods.
A cheap pair of pliers and a rag, owned, not rented
You will lose the pair you borrow. Stainless pliers and a rag cost less than a souvenir T-shirt.
Parking is the same public Navarre Beach parking: free, busy, no overnight. Beach rules still apply when you step off the pier: no glass, no fires, no pets, no camping.
