Welcome to SURF - Navarre Beach, Florida

This is a great place to bookmark and check often for information and links to increase your knowledge of not only the beach, but the ongoing situation in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM).

S.U.R.F. - or Shoreline Users Resource Force is a volunteer force that acts both as a public relations force and a source of valuable information for the visitors to our beach, both resident and tourist.
We are NOT cleaning oiled wildlife, oiled beach, or water. To volunteer, you must attend one three hour training/information session. To qualify, you need only to love our beach, and be ready to converse with beach guests and answer a wide variety of questions.

We cover the Public beach areas of Santa Rosa County, from the Eglin Reserve to the East to the Gulf Island National Seashore to the West; the 14 public walk-overs to the ocean. Organized and overseen by SeaGrant Florida, Santa Rosa County, the Santa Rosa County Volunteer Center, University of Florida IFAS Extension, and the Navarre Beach Marine Science Station.
(Links on this Blog are NOT offical recognition, endorsement, or association of any authority or municipality with the group. Just a quick access point to useful information.)
