Navarre Beach and Historic Milton are a cross-section of Florida's Santa Rosa County, with pure white beaches, ecologically rich forests and historically rich small towns.
Just west of Navarre Beach is Gulf Breeze with dining, shopping and attractions like Naval Live Oaks Reservation, stop #5 on Florida's Playground Trail.
For a glimpse of the farming side of Florida, visit the town of Jay, just east of Blackwater River State Forest.
Every year, some 70,000 enjoy the Jay Peanut Festival, each October, with its live music, family entertainment and, of course, peanuts.
