I went to the Navarre Beach public access that was the furthest away from the main Navarre Beach access.

The main Navarre Beach access is at the Navarre Beach pier. (I saw dolphins at Navarre Beach from the pier!)

And then you can drive to the west and you will come across a number of smaller public access spots with parking lots.

I was driving from the direction of Pensacola Beach and the Santa Rosa area of Gulf Islands National Seashore, so it was a drive to the east to get to Navarre Beach.

I was coming from Opal Beach of Gulf Islands National Seashore where I saw a bunch of small shells without trying too hard.

I was curious if Navarre Beach also had shells.

And yes, there were a ton of small shells that were scattered on Navarre Beach!

I did not try very hard at Navarre Beach (even less than Opal Beach!), and it was so easy to find lots of small shells!

Navarre Beach shells along the beach

I saw shells on one of the smaller Navarre Beach public access spots in December 2022. As it goes with shelling, your experience may vary!

This was really just a quick trip to Navarre Beach to see if there were shells.

I stopped at the first Navarre Beach public access I came across.

Since I was coming from Gulf Islands National Seashore, this was public beach access #37A. (map)

And then the beach is practically right there.

At first I saw a few broken shells on the beach.

But then wow!

So many shells!

I really didn’t walk very far at all along the beach.

Mounds of shells were just there!

It did look like there were a lot of broken shells in the mix, but there were a lot of full seashells too.

Now, compared to other shelling beaches in Florida I’ve been to, it did seem like these Navarre Beach shells were all really small.

But if finding seashells excites you, then it’s very possible to have a happy shelling at Navarre Beach if it’s like this!

There were tons of cute little shells.

I did also go to the main Navarre Beach for a quick look, and I didn’t see the mounds of shells I saw at this smaller Navarre Beach access.

There were some shells though.

This isn’t to say that you can’t have a happy shelling experience at the main Navarre Beach, since I really didn’t try very hard to look.

In any case, if you’re headed to Navarre Beach, you can be on the lookout for shells!

And even if you don’t find shells, Navarre Beach will always come with VIEWS!

And that’s a bit about finding some Navarre Beach shells!
