Update #2 - Navarre Beach Restoration Project

Location of Phase 1 of the Navarre Beach Restoration Project - from near 7631 Gulf Blvd. to the west end of Navarre Beach

The Navarre Beach renourishment project is underway. Two submerged pipelines will be staged near 7631 Gulf Boulevard and just east of Navarre Towers near beach access #39A. Safety signs and fencing are in place where the pipes come onshore.

Phase 1 of dredging (sand placement) is expected to start as soon as Sat., Dec. 21 from near 7631 Gulf Boulevard to the west end of Navarre Beach. This portion of the beach will be closed to the public. Crews will operate 24/7, including holidays, and will place around 700 feet of sand per day. Each phase is expected to take around seven days. Dates are weather and mechanical-issue dependent and may not be exact.

Beaches surrounding the construction area will be open to the public and sand ramps will be placed over the pipeline to allow beachgoers access to the gulf.

The restoration limits are from approximately 900 feet east of the Navarre Beach Pier and continue west to the Gulf Islands National Seashore property. Weather permitting, the estimated 30 days of sand placement is expected to be completed by late January 2025. Endangered species monitoring and relocations, including for sea turtles, will be performed by Santa Rosa County consistent with the county's environmental permits.
