The Shores Club is a very unique property:
When we first visited The Shores Club in November, 2014, we fell in love with the east and west- facing balconies, providing ocean sunrises and Halifax River/Intracoastal sunsets! As we looked at condominiums in other buildings, we realized that The Shores Club had some very unique attributes that could not be readily duplicated: The 2 balconies, the panoramic views, the "no drive" zone, and relatives at this building! We LOVE the numerous activities and places to visit. When our children and grandchildren come, they have SO many fun choices. There are many things this area offers that we had not found elsewhere: Hard-packed beaches where avid bikers can ride for miles! Lighthouse Point Park with all its beauty. Kayaking on the Halifax and in Preserves. The Daytona Beach Boardwalk, the manatees at Blue Spring State Park...not to mention Disney World is only an hour away! Probably the MOST significant: The sheer beauty of the views surrounding #1001 ALL DAY LONG and the pounding waves, right outside the front doors; frequent sightings of dolphins in the ocean in front of the condo and in the intracoastal waters to the west; AND...if you are really lucky and time your visit between December and March, you may even see a whale (or several, sometimes)! The coastal area between Jacksonville and Cape Canaveral is recognized as the premier whale-watching location in Florida. We have seen the endangered "Right" whales from our condo windows the last couple of winters. Right whales migrate to the coastal area between Jacksonville and Cape Canaveral for warmer winter waters...and then head north in March - just like "snowbirds!" :) According to "Visit Florida," there are four fishing piers in Florida that make good whale-watching spots and SunGlow pier in Daytona Beach Shores is one of them. We see Sun Glow pier from our condo windows...and fortunately, the whales, too!
