6 Best Beach Clubs and Yacht Clubs to Join in South Florida

South Florida is blessed with some of the best beaches and waterways in the world, giving Palm Beach homeowners a wide range of water activities to enjoy year-round. The best way to take advantage of this natural playground is to join one of the area’s many beach clubs and/or yacht clubs.

It’s one thing to simply go to the beach, but joining a beach club takes it to the next level. Beach clubs stand out for their luxury, comfort, convenience, and privacy. Beach clubs offer cabanas, beach chairs, chaise lounges, and umbrellas to help members enjoy a first-class experience on private stretches of sand. Many beach clubs also offer rentals that cover the gamut of beach fun, including kayaks, standup paddleboards, scuba equipment, snorkeling gear, and more. Many beach clubs provide private attendants and activities for kids.

There are many other amenities to enjoy at beach clubs, including food and beverage service, changing rooms, showers, and access to swimming pools, restaurants, and bars. Many beach clubs are operated by luxury hotels and resorts that line the waterfront.

For boating enthusiasts, there are many yacht clubs and marinas up and down the coast. Florida is the undisputed boating capital of the United States, with thousands of boats plying the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean in South Florida alone. The Florida Keys are a great destination for boaters of all kinds, both for day trips and multi-day excursions in powerboats and sailboats.

Housing in Fort Lauderdale remains extremely popular as more people continue to move to the Sunshine State for its outstanding quality of life and the fact there is no state income tax. The median price of Palm Beach homes for sale is $436,665. That’s an increase of 20% in the past year, an indication of how popular the area is.
