How is the weather in Navarre around October 7th? Thinking of spending a week there. We LOVE Navarre Beach!!! Beautiful and shelling is great!

[@Beach_Master]

Tiffany Grace October is the best month to be here! The water is still warm, air temp is cooler & comfortable, and the humidity is low. The water is usually *crystal* clear. You will love it here in October!

Hey Jeff, your video is awesome, really enjoyed it. We vacation at Navarre beach every year in Oct. Going to have to snorkel next time we make it down. Just got gear, and new to snorkeling, actually have never gone before, lol. Will have make Navarre my first.

[@Beach_Master]

Thanks! October is the best time of the year in Navarre, the water is usually at its clearest and the weather is perfect. Have a great trip and post some video of your snorkeling!

[@davidzapata7148]

Jeff, great upload. Ill be in Navarre beach in august and definitely want to go snorkeling. I have never been snorkeling and I also dont have any gear. Any recommendations on rental shops or should I buy my own? I cant wait.

[@Beach_Master]

Hi David, You're going to love Navarre Beach! I would suggest buying a mask & snorkel set - the nearest dive shop is 14 miles away so not worth the trip. Doesn't have to be top-of-the line gear, you can find hundreds of mask/snorkel sets on Amazon in the $20-40 range. I wouldn't even mess with fins unless you just really want them. Be sure to snorkel the Marine Sanctuary while you're here. It's an artificial "reef" where you are likely to spot sea turtles, triggerfish, butterfly fish, tangs, puffer fish, damsels, stingrays and dozens of other types of fish. And if you're lucky you might even see an octopus and some dolphins! Google "Navarre beach marine sanctuary" for location & info. Hope you have a great trip! Post your snorkeling video or photos for us.

[@davidzapata7148]

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. We are set to stay at navarre beach second week of august. Im going to def. look into buying my own gear and maybe that can be an incentive to start snorkeling more often. I did look up information on the marine sanctuary and look forward to heading there. I see they have to sound locations and a gulf place. Any plans on going back again soon?

[@Beach_Master]

Scratch the 2 sound side reefs. Visibility is near zero year round. The water is a murky green color. Nobody ever snorkels/dives those. I live in Navarre Beach so I'm out on the reef often. It's a lot of fun because you just never know what you're gonna see out there.

[@davidzapata7148]

10-4 That's awesome. Im surprised you don't have a lot more videos of Navarre beach. Anyways, who knows maybe we will bump heads out on the beach. I'll be going with my family from texas. Ive been checking out some navarre beach forums for some insight/ideas on what to do out there since we usually never have time to get away. Subscribed By the way.

[@kykdave]

Thanks Jeff, great video as always, good IDs on the sea life, renourishment doesn't seem to be bothering them down that way. Was the underwater pipe down by WO#10?

[@Beach_Master]

Thanks Dave. Yes, the pipe was at #10. Do you happen to know what kind of starfish these are?

[@discgolfmama]

Well that just squashed my hopes , lol sweetite Have u tried bubble wrap, an lots of peanut packing stuff for shipping, an yea I gotta save up for a trip to pecola beach , an u can tell fed ex or ups or the post office this is very fragile, an btw paint them with midge pod get it gives them some strength for shipping,

[@tiffanygrace2594]

How is the weather and water at Navarre in mid March? We have a week reserved and I can't wait!

[@Beach_Master]

The water will still be quite cold. As for weather, March is tricky. Later in the month is better, but cold snaps can still happen here in March. It can be 75 one day and 50 the next!

[@MedinaFORTNITEMOBILE]

I'm coming to Navarre at the ending of July. 07-29-17 to 08-05-17. Will there be any fish or jellyfish? Last time we were there in July there were a ton and it was very rainy!

[@Beach_Master]

Medina's World - hard to say about the jellyfish. They come & go throughout the year. As for weather, we generally get afternoon showers most days through the summer, but they're usually very brief. And they help cool things off! If you have a washout day you can spend some time at the Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center and visit Gigi the Loggerhead sea turtle.

[@MedinaFORTNITEMOBILE]

Jeff Meyer thank you for replying.

[@discgolfmama]

Omg really? Um u would have to mail them right??

[@discgolfmama]

Do u ever collect any of the sand dollars that u find while in the water if so would u be willing to sell some of them, like the big ones, all I ever seem to find r the little one the size of a quarter an smaller, not in the water but on the beach, the beaches around here gulf shores an orange beach from April through May r my only times that I get lucky enough to find them

[@Beach_Master]

Hi, Yes, I've collected hundreds of fairly large sand dollars over the years. Not the big ones like you'd find in a shell store, but decent-sized. I wouldn't sell them...I'd just give some to you.

[@Handofseeds]

do you ever see any big sharks out there? I want to snorkel but afraid to go out there

[@Beach_Master]

Only once in 15 years. A 6-foot bull shark did a slow "swim-by" about 10 feet away from me 5 years ago. He just kinda checked me out and then turned around and slowly swam away. I was WAY out there though, probably 400-500 yards offshore Way further than I've ever swam out before or since.

[@Handofseeds]

thats scary! I just can't get the courage to go out there. Navarre has a artificial reef. You ever see them out there?

[@Beach_Master]

+ImWatchingforlocust No, never. And I've spent many dozens of hours on that reef.

[@Handofseeds]

well I'm just gonna have to get my courage up. Thanks for making these videos.

[@jepuis1]

I like to snorkel for seashells. Is Navarre beach better than Pensacola beach?

[@Beach_Master]

They're about the same, shell wise. But Navarre Beach is much, much less crowded.

[@jepuis1]

thank you,jeff. david

[@mylifeascameronwatson486]

Is the water clearish there

[@Beach_Master]

It was pretty clear Sunday but it can change from day to day. That slimy junegrass is starting to roll in but isn't thick yet.
