Things to see and do while here. Fishing charters? things to see and do?

I see no responses so perhaps others are also wondering- are you talking about a city in Mexico, California, or maybe New Mexico?

florida, navarre beach, santa rosa rv resort

Great Place. Ride your bikes across the bridge (1/4 mile) to the National Sea shore, SUP right off the resort, Kayak right off the resort, Eat...lots of them, Golf, Exercise while watching the boats go by...Go to Pensacola...lots of history there

I stayed there once. Very close to the bridge, and fairly convenient to Ft Pickens and Pensacola Naval Base (where the Blue Angels are based). There is a very nice museum and lighthouse on base you can explore. You are only 30min from Destin and there is tons to do there. Navarre is just a little more laid back and less touristy. There is an army base or something close to Navarre where special forces are and they train at all hours of the night (lots of big booms and gunfire).

The restaurants here can be inconsistent.

SCooters up about 1/2 mile North of US98 has always been good and no dress code lol.

Just east of the bridge is food trailer called Shark Bites - outstanding breakfast and lunch burritos & tacos with an Hawaiian Twist.

Alphys on FL87 (just before Scooters on the right also) has a great breakfast - try the Cinnabun Waffles.

TC's front porch has a massive breakfast and good sandwiches... service can be up/down.

Slippery Mermaid for sushi.

Rib Shack for bbq but the view is better at East RIver Smokehouse. reviews of the latter depend on your style of bbq.

Broussards on the island across from the Tom THumb has been good as has the Beach House at the Springhill Suites about 1m west of the bridge on the island. Great views of the gulf from there.

Hurlburt Field East of the base is the home of the Air Force Special Operations command so you will hear gunships firing (esp the 105s), CV-22s, helos and often small amrs fire on the USAF property on the island just east of the bridge.

Cactus Flower is CalMex food (at least what we call it). Quite good.

All American Heros for Subs opposite Navarre Park is good and the Twist Ice Cream is up the same side road. TCs', AAH and Twist are all very near each other.

Drive to Pcola Beach along the gulf is nice but most of it is limited to 25mph due to endangered birds nesting.

Hope the above helps.

Enjoy the beach, the traffic and fill in your holes at the beach (nesting turtle season).

If you like to grill your own fish, shrimp or what ever, a stop at Joe Patti's is a must. Got some Amber jack and grilled it with a little lemon/pepper and served it with butter. WOW!
We ate at the Fish House near by Joe Patti's and it was really good. Touristy, expensive, but good. Great area. You'll have fun.

Many campgrounds don't charge any fees for early cancellation. I should have read the fine print.

I don't see the problem. Their reservation policy plainly states a $25 fee if over 14 days out, full deposit lost if under 14 days.
