August Activities & Events at Plantation Bay

As the month of August approaches, we are all faced with the reality that another summer is winding down. In many parts of the country, this means that it’s time to soak up as much sun as possible before the fall and winter months bring colder temperatures and indoor activities.

While the winter months are certainly nothing to fear here in Florida, the number of exceptionally hot days beside the pool are still numbered. However, the end of summer also brings the promise of new golf and tennis seasons, so there are still plenty of great activities to look forward to!
