An exclusive beach accessible to association members and their guests is a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the sun-kissed sand. However, it can get a bit crowded at times as it is a popular spot. The cove is bustling with boats, but there is a designated area for swimming. If you decide to venture outside of the swim area, it's important to be cautious of the boats coming and going from the beach.
