Beaches

If fun in the sun is what you are looking for, Villa Orleans is located right across from the beach. Children build elaborate sand castles and treasure hunters prowl the shoreline. If you are more active, try jogging and walking along beaches. It is more of a meditation than an exercise. Volleyball games are underway as swimmers happily splash over the incoming waves. The smell of barbecue drifts up as friends and families gather for a day of fun in the sun. Skimboarding, surfing, snorkeling, diving, fishing, sunbathing, wave running, biking, and roller blading are some of the activities to do for outdoor fun here.

Fishing

Fishing is a popular pastime here. Anglers of all ages drop their lines from docks and seawalls or cast right from the shoreline. For deep-sea anglers, there are charter boats that travel as far as 20 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean. Snook and other scrapers are often pulled from the waters of Intracoastal. Charter and drift fishing boats sail almost daily to natural reefs where the ocean is alive with sailfish, tuna, wahoo, and grouper. Cobia are abundant in winter and king mackerel in the spring and fall. You may hook into bluefish and amberjack in April and blackfin tuna and bonito in May. The best time to catch swordfish is at night. No matter what time of year you are looking to catch fish, we've got them waiting.

Boating
