Current amenities include private beach, Olympic-sized beachfront pool, fitness center, spa, and 9 Har-Tru tennis courts.

Question 5

Yes — for most properties. Port Royal's deep-water canal system provides bridge-free Gulf access via Gordon Pass from the majority of canal-front homes. Vessels of virtually any size can navigate from a private dock to the Gulf without clearance restrictions. Gulf-front properties along the western edge are directly on the Gulf. Contact Alpizar & Company for canal depth and access details on any specific property.
