Get into the swing of things! The player’s championship is right around the corner, and it’s a good time to brush up on your game at “Topgolf”.

Higgs Beach is one of the most pristine beaches in the Keys and Salute! On the Beach is right smack dab on the sand. While we came for the view and some rays we ended up watching kite surfing and playing volleyball. Feeling thirsty we looked up steps from our beach chairs and noticed happy […]
