We also enjoy going to the Town Square where a dozen or so restaurants are located, many with outdoor eating. You’ll be spoiled for choice! Our favorite is Red Sauce, but try them all.
And most of all we love going to the Town Squares from 5-9pm for the free entertainment and dancing on the Square. They serve 2 for 1 beer and wine at 5 to 6pm each night and supply chairs for you to enjoy the music!
The Square is easily accessible by foot or golf cart! It’s amazing to see so many golf carts which people use instead of their car.

The Florida Room is a great place for breakfast, or a glass of wine in the evening, soaking up the great Florida weather!
