Bay Colony residents live in beautiful homes, and they thrive living by the water. They get to enjoy the health benefits that come with being surrounded by the ocean and nature, including reduced stress levels. Additionally, Bay Colony’s deep and vast waterways accomodate large boats and yachts, which is very convenient for boat owners. As a result, Bay Colony is big in boating and all other fun water activities. Residents also enjoy the privilege of living in a gated area. With 24-hour security surveillance, it’s a very safe community. It’s also the perfect friendly environment to raise a family.
Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
In terms of dining, the refined Sea Watch On the Ocean restaurant is an absolute must. It’s Fort Lauderdale’s most popular seafood restaurant for a reason – visitors enjoy swoon-worthy food with an unparalleled oceanfront view. Once you dine while gazing at three acres of unspoiled Atlantic beach, you’ll realize it’s a place you’ll be coming back to again and again. For a more casual outing, the contemporary Bonefish Grill has a seafood-centric menu that also includes steak and tasty cocktails.
For all things shopping, Bay Colony is less than a 20-minute drive away from The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale. This upscale mall is one of South Florida’s premier shopping destinations and has over 100 locales. Shop for home goods, the best fashion, electronics, and more, and sit down at one of the Galleria’s restaurants afterward. The Capital Grille is known for renowned dry-aged steaks, fresh seafood, and acclaimed world-class wines.
