Navarre Pier and Reef

pompanoslayer10 · 03-21-2010, 11:11 AM

We all have heard that Navarre is building a new pier after the original one was destroyed in hurricane Ivan. Today I found out that Santa Rosa County has just approved of 140 more feet to be added on making it the longest pier in the Gulf of Mexico. I also found out that at the end of the pier they are making it into a octagon for more room and for more people to fish on. And there may be a rumor going around that they might build and put a artificial reef close enough to the beach so you can kayak to it and snorkel above and on the reef. Cant wait for the pier and the pompano run!
