Gated Communities with Golf and Beach Access

If you just can’t decide between a community with golf course or a community with beach access, you’re certainly in for a treat with any one of these gated communities:

Gulf Harbour Yacht & Country Club

From the golf course to the beach, there’s always something to do and see at Gulf Harbour Yacht & Country Club. This private club offers a deep-water marina with boat slips and an 18-hole championship golf course. You’ll also find a popular tennis program at the club, plus swimming, dining, and access to a private island with a white sand beach. Other options include a fitness center, a spa, massage treatments, and some social events at the club.

Pelican Landing

Pelican Landing has its own delights, as the property includes the opportunity to visit a 34-acre beach park on big Hickory Island with shuttle boat access. In addition, Pelican Landing features three 18-hole golf courses, a tennis center with Har-Tru courts, and a wellness center with fitness equipment. Other options include a pickleball center, a sailing center at Coconut Point Marina, and complimentary canoe and kayak rentals at Spring Creek Kayak & Canoe Park. Boat slips are available for lease at the marina, plus you’ll find three docks for fishing, a community center, a butterfly garden, and a bocce program with league play. 

Shadow Wood Preserve

Not to be outdone, Shadow Wood Preserve offers the advantage of a master-planned community that also happens to sit just a short drive away from some of the biggest attractions in the area. On-site amenities at Shadow Wood Preserve include tennis, a picnic area, an 18-hole golf course, plus room for canoeing and kayaking. Residents have the option of joining The Commons Club. A private beach club membership is just part of it, as there’s also a health and lifestyle center, an outdoor concert venue, an enrichment center, and a private restaurant.
