Ten miles of pristine beach invite you to spot dolphins while biking along the shore at low tide. Golf enthusiasts can challenge themselves on five championship courses where even the Ocean Course welcomes non-resort guests with advance booking.

The private part of the beach is the way to go if you can swing it, but the public beach is just as nice. It's just more crowded.
