The Dog Days of Summer Call for a Great Pool!






The heat of the summer is upon us, and all I feel like doing in the afternoon heat is lying on a raft in the pool or camping out in a poolside chair to read. The community of Seacrest Beach has one of the nicest pools on 30-A. It is a huge 12,000 square feet and divided into shallow areas, lap pools and a central area that gradually slopes to the deeper water. The pool is surrounded by lush, tropical landscaping, plenty of places to sit and places to picnic, a large sloping lawn for playing or listening to evening concerts, and there are several restrooms and changing areas. One of my favorite times for a swim is at night time, when the pool area is quiet, the landscape and pools are beautifully lit and the water feels so warm and relaxing. In the summer the pool area is open until 11:00 PM. Dive in and cool off after a long, hot day at the beach!
