ALVIN'S ISLAND COMING TO NAVARRE BEACH

A large souvenir store is making waves in Navarre Beach, as the popular Alvin's Island chain prepares to break ground on a new 30,000-square-foot location, set to become the biggest business on the beach. While some residents welcome the change, others express disappointment over the type of retail coming to the area. With mixed opinions surrounding the construction, the county is still unclear on when the project will officially begin. Navarre Beach continues to weigh its future as it balances growth and community values.
