The Sand Dollar Condominium Resort

With steady winds and average water temperature of around 80, the water is so clear at times visibility can reach 80-100 feet.

With visibility like that, the naturist course offered at the Sand Dollar Condominium Resort will come in handy for identification of the abundance of species that can be seen from the surface.

With a staff dedicated to service, it is no wonder the Sand Dollar received a 97% overall satisfactory rating.
