Enjoy your morning cup of coffee on one of your balconies, or take it to-go as you stroll down the beach from your own backyard. Wake the kids up and head down the beach for some volleyball or hop on the free trolley and go for all you can eat pancakes at AMI Beach Cafe on beautiful Holmes Beach. Your options are endless but you may just end up staying on your deck, feet up, sipping a margarita and watching the sunset.
