and scuba diving is available for certified divers. Water

clarity and temperature at Ocean Reef are as close to

perfect as you’ll find in American waters.

You can rent sailboats on Buccaneer Island and smaller

craft at the Marina, and lessons in handling watercraft

and water safety are available. Charters are available, and

cruises on well-appointed yachts—morning, afternoon,

and at sunset—are a wonderful way to enjoy the water

and leave the piloting to someone else.

Shopping.

Reminiscent of an old-fashioned town

center, the Ocean Reef Fishing Village is the place to

peruse a selection of shops, stop for a delicious meal, or

chat over coffee with friends. Surrounded by the marina,

this charming gathering spot offers quick, convenient

access—or a leisurely day of browsing—for everything

from marine products to the club’s exclusive logo items,

plus electronics, jewelry, clothing, shoes, home décor, art,

books, flowers, wine and spirits, gourmet groceries, and

much more. Whatever your heart desires, you’ll enjoy

Ocean Reef’s colorful collection of boutiques and shops.

Salon & Spa.

Indulge in the ultimate journey of

relaxation and renewal. The Ocean Reef Salon & Spa

invites you to experience a sanctuary of soothing aromas,

calming sounds, and nature’s most healing resources. An

array of professional face and body spa care therapies will

enhance your appearance and encourage you to feel your

very best.

Let the Salon & Spa transport you to an oasis of peace

and tranquility while your skin takes in ample vitamins,

minerals, essential oils, and moisturizers. Services

include massage, body treatments, skin care services,

waxing and sugaring, hair cutting and styling, manicures,

pedicures, nail enhancements, and make-up application

and consultation.

Fitness Center.

Exercise your options at the Ocean

Reef Club’s Marina Fitness Center, where you’ll find

an excellent array of equipment, including treadmills,

stair machines, bicycles, free weights, and LifeFitness

Equipment. The fitness center is located adjacent to the

Marina and is open 24 hours a day.

Beach & Pools.

Ocean Reef Club’s Buccaneer Island

is a premium destination for fun in the sun. The island’s

saltwater swimming lagoon and sandy beach overlooking

the ocean are the main attractions, and this is a perfect

spot to enjoy a refreshing libation while soaking up some

Florida Keys sunshine. Chaise lounges and umbrellas are

plentiful, and cabana rentals are available through the

pool desk.

Buccaneer Island is also the club’s hub for aquatic

sports activities. Get out on the lagoon or ocean in a

rental watercraft—sailboats, kayaks, windsurfers, stand-

up paddleboards, and more.

Nature Center.

A visit to the Nature Center is an

inspiring experience that will help you understand the

rich and diverse environment of Ocean Reef Club. You’ll

find a touch tank with an array of sea critters—tropical

fish, sea anemones, sea urchins, starfish, and more. You

can also visit with the resident box turtles, a 75-pound

desert tortoise, iguana, and hermit crabs.

Nature Programs at the center include kayak tours

(beginner and advanced), bicycle tours through three

distinct eco-systems (mangroves, lush vegetation, and

hardwood hammock), bird scavenger hunts, and various

field trips.

Waterfront Activities.

Surrounded by water on

three sides, the Ocean Reef Club boasts tremendous

waterfront and shoreline. The “classic” waterfront

activities are concentrated in the Fishing Village, the

Marina, and Buccaneer Island: sailing, kayaking amongst

the mangroves, fly-fishing on the flats, cruising on myriad

watercraft, snorkeling, browsing the shops, swimming,

fishing, dining and otherwise eating, strolling, sunning,

arranging a boat rental or a charter, and riding a bike.

Lawn & Tennis Center.

Nine Har-Tru tennis courts

are available, with six lighted for evening play. The center

also offers a full-size grass croquet court for recreational or

highly competitive matches.

Ocean Reef also boasts a 9-hole miniature golf course

that is lit for night play as well as a basketball court next

to the playground.

Movie Theater.

The Ocean Reef Cultural Center,

located in the heart of the community, offers first-run

and recent releases three nights a week in a comfortable,

state-of-the-art, 300-seat theater. Just drive over in your

electric road cart and enjoy the show.
