The American Shore and Beach Preservation Association announced today that the Navarre Beach restoration project is a winner of its 2010 Best Restored Beach Award. 

For the last 40 years, beach restoration has been the preferred method of shore protection in coastal communities on the east, west and Gulf coasts. Beach restoration is the process of placing beach-quality sand on dwindling beaches to reverse or offset the effects of erosion. Navarre Beach was one of four beaches nationwide selected for 2010.
