I highly recommend joining this club for beach access, entertaining family, friends & visitors and for great social events.
Just north of the Dolphin Ridge Club parking lot is the private neighborhood golf cart parking. Pack up your golf cart with all the beach gear, drive to the beach access walkway and unload, then park the cart in the lot while you enjoy the sun and surf.
