Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs in the low to mid 70s and only five to eight wet days a month, while summer brings highs near 90 and rain on 16 to 17 days a month. For time off the beach, Eagle Loop is about 5 miles away, and Emerson Point Park Trail and the Barrier Free Nature Trail are each about 6 miles out. Leffis Key Foot Path is roughly 7 miles away.
