Palm Coast Marina

After a few days, we are getting settled into the marina and resort here at Palm Coast.  The Resort (Hammock Beach Resort) has golf, tennis, several pools, a lazy river, and beach frontage.  Several restaurants are also located at the main resort.  The main resort is about 1 1/2 miles from the marina and is on the beach.  Luckily a shuttle goes back and forth between the marina and main resort, which is very handy.  We will likely be using that on a regular basis.  I hope to get over to the main resort and take some pictures to post next week.  Keith and I have biked around the main resort this week, but I did not have the camera with me.  Keith also played golf at the Ocean Course on Friday and said it was one of the best courses he has ever played.

The marina part of the resort is along the intracoastal waterway.  It has the marina and tennis courts as well as a pool and condos associated with the marina.  It is a very nice location.  Here is a view out into the marina.

                                       
                                          Here are the condos at the other end of the marina.

                           
                                   On the backside of the condos is the intracoastal waterway.

This is the area just off the back of the condos.  The intracoastal waterway is just out of the picture to the left.

Route A1A goes right past the marina.  This road is the north/south road through coastal Florida and goes from Key West along the Atlantic Ocean to Fernandina Beach just south of Georgia.  There is a nice wide walking/bike path that follows A1A and is great for the bikes.  A grocery store is just 1.9 miles from the marina down A1A.  The perfect distance for a little exercise when making a grocery run.

So, we seem to be all set for the next several months.  I will  be doing some exploring with the bike and kayak and will keep everyone up to date.  Since we will not be moving the boat regularly like on our trip down, I may post less frequently over the winter.  I will probably do a weekly update of our boat projects and explorations.  And we do have several boat projects on our calendar, so keep checking in.
