The Tourist Development Council (TDC), which is the county board responsible for directing the Tourist Development Office (TDO) and their plans, has released initial conceptual plans for a new visitor center and boardwalk along the Gulf side of Navarre Beach. The boardwalk, which will be built in two phases, will feature eight retail shops and stretch from the Navarre Beach main parking lot (near Windjammers on the Pier) to the Dolphin Pavilion in the Navarre Beach Marine Park. The eight shops will be in four buildings.
