Shopping and more places to eat are right next door in Grand Boulevard. Restaurants like Tommy Bahama, Cantina Laredo, Flemming’s and Mitchell’s Fish Market are ready for your reservation. There are also numerous shops, and a Publix Supermarket to provide you with what ever you need.

But the best feature of the resort is the wide, white stretches of sugary sandy beaches. Grab a beach chair and lounge under the umbrella with a book, or spread out a beach towel and soak up the Florida sun. And the warm emerald waters sooth the urban weary soul.
