Restaurants / Places to Eat
Just like the things to do, hundreds of restaurants are available within a short drive. Since Navarre Beach Landing is fully equipped with a stocked kitchen, we generally prepare meals at the condo to save cost. But we will visit one or two restaurants with each trip. Therefore, our list of restaurants we’ve visited is smaller.
Crabs
Crabs (We Got ‘Em) is a restaurant on the beach in Pensacola. You can’t miss it with the red building, the large word “Crabs” and a large crab on the front of the building.

Tommy’s SnoBalls
Tommy’s SnoBalls has been a “must do” for us for each of our trips to Navarre Beach. It is not on the beach – but it is just to the right of the causeway bridge on US-98. The number of flavors they offer is amazing and the pricing is just as great. Sit out in … Read more
