Just steps away, the Blue Water Beach Grill and the community’s amenity collection set the tone for a resort routine: nearly two miles of white sandy beach, 700 acres of freshwater lakes, an Arthur Hills “Signature” championship golf course and clubhouse, a beach club, tennis, pickleball, bocce, marina and boat docks, plus fitness and spa spaces for unhurried days.
