The recently upgraded private beach pavilion features a full-service seasonal snack bar, restrooms and showers. A new ADA Trex ramp provides easier beach access, and homeowners enjoy complimentary LDV umbrella and chair rentals throughout the season. Seasonal tram service adds even more convenience, and Emerald Shores allows golf carts, a sought-after feature along the coast.
