Within 8 blocks:    Whole Foods, 2 bicycle shops (Trek, Specialized, Giant, etc.), Books-A-Million, dozens of cafes, restaurants, coffee shops, Pavilion Cinemas (10 screens), Publix market, U.S. Post Office, library, walk-in medical clinic, police and fire stations.

Favorite bike route (see PHOTOS):   6-mile loop lined with South Florida Slash Pines and bougainvalia, where cars are scarce, the speed limit is 30, and there are more bald eagles' nests (one), wild turkeys (at least one), and horses (many) than traffic lights (zero) - perfect for everything from fast interval training to slow meditative spinning.

  

                        Tennis:   8 public clay tennis courts just 5 blocks away at Pelican Bay Community Park.  

                        Backwater Kayaking:    At Wiggins State Park at north end of Vanderbilt Beach.

                        Triathletes:   Swim year-round in the Gulf, run on magnificent 8-mile long Vanderbilt Beach.

                    Spa Motto:   You'll find the spa on your bike, on the road, on the beach, in the Gulf, in your head.
