We live in The Links at Harbour Village, just across the street from the Ocean, so getting to the Beach is a matter of several minutes. Cross the golf course, surrounding the Links and take a path, which goes along the southern border of Harbour Village, and it takes you to Atlantic Ave. Cross it and you are at our Oceanfront clubhouse, one of 3 in the complex. The Clubhouse is on a dune, with the first level as parking. The elevator takes you upstairs, where there is a social room, full kitchen (and parties are common here on weekends), well equipped gym, steam room, sauna, lockers, bathrooms, small outdoor pool.
We always come later in the day, when the heat subsides, and you do not need a sunscreen. The breeze brings a welcome cool. This Sunday weather was perfect. I took a camera with me, as I am trying to catch the ever changing colors, which are especially beautiful in the evening when sinking sun adds pink to the white foams of the waves, paints the sky and the beach in incredible unimaginable colors.
I tried it many times, but the photos really don't do justice to the beauty of the Atlantic.
And then we come back to the Clubhouse, wash off the sand of our feet, and then it is either a tiny bit of workout in the gym, or a round of ping-pong, and it all ends up with the sauna.
Time to go home. A new week is ahead... .
We will be back. On Monday, and then on Tuesday, and then on Wednesday...
When I was young and ambitious and lived and worked above the Arctic Circle, I was very proud that my vacation was 42 days. My uncle lived on t he Black Sea, and I visited him often. He asked me why I lived in the Arctic. My answer puzzled him. He thought about it for a minute, and then he said that he had 12-month vacation.
Now I understand him. Now I also enjoy a 52-week vacation.
If the idea of a 52-week vacation warms you up even better than our warm Florida weather, e-mail us or call me at 386-405-4408. You will be glad you did.
There is nothing better than experience the Magic of the Atlantic - Sunday in Ponce Inlet

Beauty! Thank you for sharing this...I'm on the Pacific Coast, but only the west coast of Vancouver Island has this "look". You see into infinity, where you are!
Bill - You moved from las Vegas (if memory does not fail me) to Houston. Both are huge metro areas. I am in a relatively much smaller place. I cometimes miss the big city feel, but sometimes I dream of a place in the wilderness (unitl when it gets dark and lonely).
Patricia - the only drawback for you is that we are more than 4-5 hours from you. But it sia cool place for guy from Washington, DC area. No need for ties, and black jacket, or any jackets at all for that matter.
I know that this is a crime, but I my casual dress code is very different from your dress code. Jeans are my high end. My wife is fighting shorts, but nobody is fighting flippers.
When guys come from corporate New York, that;s the first thing they envy (LOL)
Lynn - Beach is the precious gift. Came back from the beach a couple of hours ago. Alway enjoy it. My vacation is across the street, isn't this a blessing?
