Things to do at Portofino Island Resort

With the expansive ocean and white-sand beaches as your playground, the great outdoors provides a wide range of fun-filled adventures and ways to get out and explore the beauty at your fingertips.

Staying close to home means that you can take advantage of on-site amenities like tennis, bicycles, and of course the pools. Challenge your friend to a game or two of tennis to show off your backhand, then take a relaxing bike ride through the lush grounds. After hitting a café for a quick bite and a drink, head back to lounge in one of the seven tropical pools.

Dive into the resort-style watersports for a day of boogie boarding, paddleboarding, or even kiteboarding. Get your adrenaline going with a soaring experience as you fly high above the water with a parasailing session, or maybe stay a little closer to the waves when you reserve a Waverunner to skip the across the water and feel the wind on your face.

Take a moment to spend some quiet time with your special someone as you take in the fireworks during a sunset cruise. Wake up early to see the dolphins swim along side the boat and learn about the local marine life on a specialized cruise that takes you through the Santa Rosa Sound.

With world-class fishing in your backyard, your options for boat trips are vast! You'll find onshore and offshore trips to suit your preference. Get a few friends together and charter a private tour with expert guides to tackle the trophy fish and see if you can land the big one! You might even score some delicious fish to cook up in your rental kitchen.

Whether you're trying something for the first time or looking for some advice from an expert, the resort provides lessons with pros for tennis, tips for local fishing, and helpful insights for golfers looking to hit the nearby fairways.
