Return visitors to the Navarre Beach Sand Sculpting Festival will be greeted by a new location and most likely an admission fee. The festival has been held the last five years on the Gulf-side of Navarre Beach near the Navarre Beach Fishing Pier and has been funded with BP funds but that ends in 2014. This year’s event will be held on the sound-side in the Navarre Beach Marine Park due in part to nesting shorebirds but also as an opportunity to feature the Navarre Beach Marine Science Station, Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center and Navarre Beach Marine Sanctuary.
