Falling in Love With the Coast This Fall

Fall is officially in the air and with the change of seasons comes a new line-up of concerts, local events, and other activities to keep us busy this autumn. One of our favorite times of the year, the sweet spot between the end of summer and the holidays is all about mild climates, quiet beaches, falling leaves and a calendar full of things to do in the area.

The summer crowds are gone, fall festivals are plentiful and milder temperatures are in the air. For those visiting the area during this time of year, you’ll quickly discover why we are consistently named among the nation’s top master-planned communities in the country.

Whether you’re already a local to the area or deciding to take a trip to our coastline this fall, we have you covered on all of the happenings in the area to keep your schedule filled and the family happy while you’re here.
