Tom King Bayou is a small, but locally important, bayou and creek in Navarre, Florida.[1][2] The mouth of the bayou opens onto East Bay near Axelson Point and Robledal.[1][3]
The bayou acts as a major runoff for stormwaters and is critical to the local environment and for local homes for this purpose.[4][5]
