According to EnjoyTravel.com, rankings from 1 to 50 are calculated using aggregated scores from previous media results, official Blue Flag locations and contributions from the Big 7 Travel editorial team (see list below).[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_single_image image=”48771″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]“This year, you’ll notice a few old-timers alongside a whole host of newcomers, from black sandy shorelines to city beaches to castaway islands,” says the featured online results preamble. “Whether you’re in the market for a secluded sandy stretch or a buzzing beach party, you’re sure to like the look of a fair few of these beaches.

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”48954″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]

Three official pickleball courts are included. This sport is enjoyed Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturday mornings at 7 a.m.
The community now has a premium court to enjoy.
