Palm Island Resort: Serene Private Villas Steps from the Sea
Along the 2-mile stretch of pristine beach that fronts Palm Island, accessible from the mainland only by boat or car ferry, children splash in the clear surf and an expanse of silky sand tickles travelers' toes. Steps away, the 100 privately owned villas of the Palm Island Resort line the surf, each dressed in a unique design that holds true to the Old Florida architectural style. Adults and kids alike scatter throughout the expansive resort, navigable by complimentary golf cart, sending serves across its 11 tennis courts, diving into its five pools, taking advantage of its bustling recreation center, and dining at its two restaurants.
Visitors can choose the Island Beach villa to start their days by drinking in a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Mexico or opt for the Island Bay villa to enjoy the peaceful rustle of the mangrove leaves facing Rum Bay. Each villa reflects the richness of the outside world with individual design schemes, brightly painted walls, whitewashed trim, and floral themes that crawl across couches, armchairs, and bedspreads. A full kitchen grants guests culinary independence and the opportunity to break bread or watermelon-juggling records with friends and loved ones in the comfort of a private home, and the on-site Rum Bay Restaurant sates stomachs with its popular barbecue Swamp sauce.
Although many guests may no longer be children, a young-at-heart spirit pervades Palm Island, where there's no shortage of activities to inspire youthful peals of laughter. Red Beard the Pirate shuffles across the boardwalk, clicking his boots and singing sprightly songs as a bright-green amazon parrot perches atop his shoulder, and biking, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and boogie-boarding excursions take shape after a visit to the recreation office. The resort's Nature Center stimulates childlike senses of awe, as resident naturalist Al Squires flexes his environmental know-how with informative tours that teach nature enthusiasts to find sea-turtle hatchlings, manatees, and dolphins, and to attract discerning local birds such as the heron and pelican using mind-control alone.
Cape Haze, Florida: Peaceful Waterfront Paradise
Cozily ensconced between Sarasota and Fort Myers, Cape Haze is a sleepy coastal getaway marked by 360-degree views of the ocean. The watery nook, known the world over for its tarpon fishing, attracts fishermen eager to test their rods, reels, and Rodney Dangerfield impressions on its friendly waters. Aquatic adventures of all kinds find a special home here, as travelers often spend days traversing the waters in kayaks, canoes, or jet skis or with a snorkel. The rich waters have infused the surrounding land with a healthy green glow, underscoring numerous parks and beautiful golf courses, nine of which are within 25 minutes of Palm Island. Shopping is light in Cape Haze, but a short drive delivers visitors to nearby towns populated by quaint seaside shops and fresh seafood restaurants.
