What Beach Warning Flags Mean As you look along the Panama City Beach or Navarre Beach you will no doubt see flags along the coastline. These flags are posted daily to alert you to swimming conditions for everyone's safety. What these flags mean may not be completely apparent so we provide you the chart shown below.

Today's Surf Report at the Seahorse Retreat and Palm Breeze Beach House

Fishing. Beach combing. Kayaking. Paddle Boarding. Kite Surfing. Biking. The list of outdoor activities is extensive in Navarre, FL - there’s so much to do in this area of the Panhandle! Add snorkeling to your list.

“Can you fish from your dock and what can you catch?” This is one of the top questions we get from guests who book The Seahorse Retreat and Palm Breeze Beach House - our homes in Navarre on the Santa Rosa Sound.

If you book either The Seahorse Retreat or The Palm Breeze Beach House, you will most likely want to kayak on the beautiful Santa Rosa Sound (our backyard), and the calm waters (in good weather) make it an ideal place to do that. And, since both homes provide tandem kayaks to guests, it is easy to bring them down to the beach and launch out into the shallow water to explore.

Staying at The Seahorse Retreat or Palm Breeze Beach House is not just about relaxing, but having fun getting close to the natural surrounding. The Blackwater River is a little more than 30 minutes north of us. As this video from See Through Canoes shows, it is a uniquely beautiful place.

Although technically called Sanderling, you may know them better as Sandpipers. Presently, these plump little peeps have migrated to our private shore as a respite. They have been enjoyable to watch dart back and forth in choreographed unison across the sandbar created by breezes driven from the north.

Many guests who vacation at the Seahorse Retreat and Palm Breeze Beach House often ask us what kind of entertainment our side of the Panhandle offers for kids.  While families opt to spend much of their time swimming in our pool, playing on our beach, or cooking out, there are many fun things to do in the area. Here’s our list (some are free!)
