The Village of Baytowne Wharf offers an array of eateries, from seafood spots to Fat Tuesday Daiquiri Bar, known for its frozen drinks like the 190 Octane and Hurricane.

Guests can access four championship golf courses, including The Links, designed by Tom Jackson. The resort also has a tennis center with 15 HydroGrid clay and hard courts, pickleball, and a fitness center with Cardio Theater-equipped machines. Water activities include kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing charters from Baytowne Marina. The Village of Baytowne Wharf hosts live music, fireworks, and seasonal events like ice skating.

Location & Transport

Located in Miramar Beach, the resort spans 2,400 acres between the Gulf of Mexico and Choctawhatchee Bay. Nearby landmarks include Jolee Island Nature Park (0.5 km) and Silver Sands Premium Outlets (2 km). A complimentary tram runs every 30 minutes, connecting guests to the beach, golf courses, and Baytowne Wharf. The closest airports are VPS, ECP, and PNS.

Guest Services

The resort provides free bike rentals (4 hours daily), tennis court access (1 hour daily), and kayak rentals at the marina. Sandestin Rental Management offers exclusive owner perks, including preferred beach parking and golf cart access. Hotel Effie features a full-service spa and rooftop pool, the only one in northwest Florida. Group services include 85,000 sq ft of event space for meetings and weddings.

“This large resort certainly aims to be all things to all people. Spanning beach and bay, it's hard not to be drawn in by the sheer number of activities. I think it is ideal for active families who don't mind sharing the space.”
