Beach, Pool, Sun and Sunsets:
Gulf View is located directly on the beach. Walk from your condo right on to the beach and wade into the Gulf of Mexico. Take a dip or lounge by the heated pool reserved for Gulf View guests on your way to the beach or when you return.
Stroll the smooth, sand beach south to Longboat Pass or north all the way to Bean Point. Watch the dolphins frolic in the emerald-green waters of the Gulf. Kids can wade, build sand castles or chase the gulls. Enjoy the antics of the pelicans and other diving birds as they plunge into the Gulf to catch fish.
At the end of the day, kick back and delight in the gorgeous sunsets as seen from your private, screened balcony. There is absolutely nothing to block your view of this magnificent, daily extravaganza by Mother Nature.
