Pensacola Beach has a lot of restaurants, shops, and entertainment. Do not take Hwy 98, go across the bridge and take Gulf Blvd aka Hwy 399. You won't have to pay a toll and it's about as fast as 98, only much much better scenery.

Navarre Beach is the best beach in Florida, not even a competition. You must beach here! Go to the longest Pier in Florida right across the bridge and you can usually see sea turtles, and other wild life. Bring a fishing pole and try pier fishing. There are numerous parking areas along the beach road so if one place is full, you can keep driving to others, they continue down the entire island every few miles.

Sightseeing
Once across the bridge from Navarre to Navarre Beach, go past Juana's to the red light. Turn right and follow all the way through Navarre Beach. Then you will enter the National Seashore Park where there is uninterrupted beaches on both sides of the road for miles. Every two miles or so there are parking areas where you can park and walk to the beach. The only buildings are at the Park headquarters and Opal Beach so you can enjoy the natural beauty of the island. This is the best route to take from Navarre to Pensacola Beach and is breathtaking drive at sunset.

At the tip of Santa Rosa Island lies an old Civil War fort at the mouth of the Pensacola Bay Pass. Fun to walk around and see the remains of the fort and the beautiful views of the pass and it's emerald green waters.
