The Gulf site is located directly south of

the Sea Oat pavilion. This is the furthest

southeast parking area of the park.

     Follow the boardwalk to the beach and immediately head east approximately 100ft.

  The Gulf Reef has 78 structures and is marked  (on shore only) by four large PVC posts positioned on the sand dune and is 340ft south of the mean tide line. It is immediately beyond the second sand bar.

Reefs are located in artificial reef area SR-27, located approximately one mile off Navarre Beach.

More than 500 modules create 27 individual reef sites, or patch reefs. Reef types include 15-foot-tall large tetrahedrons (also known as “super reefs”), 8-foot-tall tetrahedron pyramids and 6-foot-tall ledge and disk modules (also known as “grouper boxes”). $1.2 million project was the final phase of a major project funded with Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) Early Restoration funds from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.

     The east sound side reef is the smallest of the three sites located north-west of Sandpiper pavilion.

     This site is the most accessible of the three sites and is identified on all four corners with pilings marked with ""SNORKELING REEF" "NO MOTORIZED VESSELS".

     The site is about 150ft from shore and consists of 28 structures spaced 10ft apart in 12ft of water with the tops at 7ft below the surface.

     To get to this reef, take the first left after entering the park. It is located directly north of Red Drum pavilion and the Navarre Beach Science Station.

     The site can be seen from the beach.

     This site is more conducive for diving than for snorkeling and is identified on all four corners by pilings and marked with ""SNORKELING REEF" "NO MOTORIZED VESSELS".
