Starting this weekend, persons of all abilities can “get relaxing” on Navarre Beach via a new ADA-accessible rollout pathway. The Mobi-Mat Recpath AFX Blue Jay makes traversing the sugar-white sand more sturdy for people using wheelchairs, walkers and strollers. The mat, which will begin where the kayak launch ends, is 100 ft. long by five ft. wide and will extend 16.5 ft. to the east and west closer to the beach.
“When the board received Navarre resident Tony Alexander’s suggestion to add the Mobi-Mat, we supported it 100 percent,” said Commissioner Rob Williamson, District 4. “It’s exciting to know all visitors to Navarre Beach, regardless of their abilities, will now enjoy the same access to the gulf. This is another example of what makes Santa Rosa County and Navarre such a special place.”
Santa Rosa County will host a ribbon-cutting for Mobi-mat pathway on Friday, March 23 at 3:30 p.m. at the foot of the kayak launch, which is located gulfside just east of the Sea Oat Pavilion in Navarre Beach Park. The $8200 mat was purchased by the county’s tourist development office.
