It's a block from the beach and it's world class. Not much there for the average person. More

We rented bikes and biked there. It was nice to see the hall of fame. We looked at all the records and saw that Micheal Phelps swam there! More

This is an amazing pool and complex. You will likely bump into or be able to watch a few Olympian's training. The pool is right off of A1A and close to the beach. Check out the gift shop for a cool and unique gift. More
