The Experience

Life moves
quieter here

Matanzas Inlet is one of Florida's best-kept secrets — a protected waterway where the ocean meets the marsh, and the pace belongs to the tides. At Summer Paradise, we've built a place that honors that rhythm.

Beach & Inlet Access

Steps from the Atlantic and the calm waters of the inlet — perfect for swimming, kayaking, or watching dolphins at dawn.

Historic St. Augustine

30 minutes to the oldest city in America — Castillo de San Marcos, the Lightner Museum, and the cobblestone streets of the Historic District.

Nature & Wildlife

The inlet is a wildlife corridor — sea turtles nest on nearby beaches, and pelicans, herons, and manatees are regular visitors.

Location

Right on the
A1A corridor

Perched along Highway A1A, Summer Paradise sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Matanzas River — the best of both worlds, without the crowds.
