In addition to a large swath of private beachfront, the resort boasts three pools, a playground, three championship golf courses, and a tranquil, 65,000-square-foot spa. Fitness enthusiasts can ride horses through the marsh or cycle along paths lined with old-growth oak trees draped with the area’s signature moss.
The food is as exceptional as the scenery. Try pizzas and other Italian-inspired dishes at the energetic Tavola, or fish sandwiches, shrimp baskets, and other laid-back dishes at the elegant, beachside Southern Tide restaurant.
