What to pack
If you're going to the beach
Bring beach chairs (we have a few available), sunblock and towels to enjoy the ocean. If you are parking there, make sure you have your beach parking permit.
Getting around
Golf carts
There are many places to rent a golf cart. Be sure to be familiar with the laws because they are very strict and quick to enforce.
