Sandsculpting is Back!

Remember the first time you played in the sand? The creativity that flowed when you discovered what sandcastles were, the feeling of playing and molding with these miniscule grains of rock and water to create a fortress or any other thing you could devise? Navarre's  3rd annual Sand Sculpting Festival is back and so are the impressive artists.

Make plans to come out and see the mastery and skill of 9 pro sand sculptors - several known from Sand Wars. Rusty Croft, Travel Channel's host for Sand Masters, will also be participating - this will be his third event here at Navarre Beach.

This festival is free to the public and will be positioned by the Navarre Beach Pier, starting Sept. 28 and running through Sept 30 when the winners will be announced.

For those artistic enough, the festival also allows amateur competitors - limiting to the first 20 to apply.

Navarre Vacation Rental Spotlight - Villas 122

Many like coming to the Sound side of Navarre Beach and staying at Sunset Harbor. This community is actually divided into two communities - Sunset Harbor Palms and Sunset Harbour Villas. The Palms are able to accommodate smaller groups with Studios, one bedrooms, and two bedrooms.

However, Sunset Harbour Villas accommodate those with larger parties with one, two and three bedroom condos. Today's highlight is the Villas 3 bedroom 2 bath condo - Villas 122.

This condo has two King beds and two Full beds with the ability to sleep up to 8 people. This is the only 3 bed 2 bath condo in the Villas that NVR manages that can sleep up to 8 as all the rest only sleep 6 maximum. Such a feature makes it the prime choice when planning a family get together or having several friends vacation together.

Villas 122 has a fully furnished kitchen with all the basic necessities to make you at home and make some home-cooked meals while on vacation. Also, this property has a washer and dryer in the unit, so there won't need to be any treks to the on site laundry facility to wash beach towels.

The Sunset Harbour Villas has cable TV and WiFi for those who don't want to miss a game or needing to stay in touch with work or school. While staying there, you may also take advantage of the onsite swimming pool or walk the 3 to 5 minutes to the Gulf front beach. 

Sunset Harbour Villas 122 provides the best of all worlds. Plan your autumn get away today with Navarre Vacation Rentals.

Sailing with Juana's Good Times Regatta

This weekend will be the 22nd annual Good Times Regatta hosted by Juana's Pagoda on Navarre Beach. Calling sailors and their multihull sailboats whether amateurs or experts to come out and join the fun.

Every time I see sailing taking place I pleasantly recall a scene from the movie with Jimmy Stewart "Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation." When Mr. Hobbs played by Stewart takes his son out sailing to watch and solar eclipse and end up enveloped in fog. It turns out to be a humorous scene of parenting and human nature, and as in any good comedy it ends well.

But for sailing enthusiasts, this weekend gives you the opportunity to be your own Mr. Hobbs minus the fog. The Regatta is being held Sept. 7-9 in the Navarre Sound. If you plan on particiapating register through Juana's soon. No one will be able to register after Friday, Sept. 7.
