Located directly on the Gulf of Mexico, the Sandcastle is a picturesque resort with 600 feet of private white sand beach.  Two heated fresh water pools adorn the property, along with a variety of activities and appointments that help make us a unique vacation spot on the west coast of Florida.

Dining is anything but routine here.  Our Coffee Shop serves breakfast and lunch, either indoors or out on our "Floridian Sidewalk Cafe."  During the evening, relax with a cocktail in our Lounge and enjoy a carefully prepared meal in the Candlelight Restaurant.  Because we know it is difficult to leave our beautiful beach and pool area for refreshments, our Pool Bar is open from noon till dusk.  Enjoy a gorgeous Florida sunset from our beach deck.
