State Park
This park was open as a state park for only four months before it was extensively damaged by Hurricane Ivan in 2004, suffering further damage from Hurricane Dennis in 2005. County Marine Park
In October 2005, the Santa Rosa County Commissioners announced that they were in negotiation with the state to return the park to county control. On the 9th of October in 2009, the Santa Rosa County Board of County Commissioners voted to take over the park. In this same year, the park was renamed to become, Navarre Beach County Park. In 2013, the park was renamed to its current name, the Navarre Beach Marine Park. Science Centers
In 2008, a marine science center was founded at a former ranger station on the property. This center is known as the Navarre Beach Marine Science Center, and was the first of three science and conservation organizations based in the small park. The second of the three science and conservation programs based in the park opened in 2010. This organization is known as the Navarre Beach Marine Sanctuary, and has several artificial diving reefs located on both the gulf and sound sides of the park. The third and newest of the three science organizations is the Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center. While they have existed as an organization for several years before this point, they began operations in the park after they opened a specially built conservatory in the park in 2016.
