💡 Tips
- Navigate the lagoons: Rent a kayak or canoe to explore the 11-mile inland lagoon system-it's shaded, calm, and full of turtles and birds.
- Biking is best: Use the extensive network of paved bike paths to get around; it's often faster than driving and parking during peak season.
- Beach biking: The sandy beaches are wide and firm at low tide, making them excellent for riding beach cruiser bicycles right next to the waves.
- Dining reservations: Popular waterfront restaurants within the resort and nearby Shelter Cove book up fast in the summer; reserve well in advance.
