Juana's Pagodas & Sailors' Grill is Navarre's oldest family-owned beach bar, restaurant, and entertainment complex, operating continuously since 1989. The venue began as a watersports business when Steve and Juana were drawn to Navarre Beach by its Caribbean-blue waters and sugar-white sand, and grew into a 50,000-square-foot waterfront destination featuring several pagoda-style structures along the Santa Rosa Sound. The complex hosts private events across two dedicated spaces: Club Pagodas, a climate-controlled indoor venue accommodating up to 100 guests, and the Sunset Beach Stage, a large covered outdoor deck beside the sound with capacity for up to 200. Both spaces are well suited to wedding receptions, milestone celebrations, corporate gatherings, and team events.
