WaterColor
 
 WaterColor is one of two master-planned communities (the other
being WaterSound Beach) currently being developed by
Arvida, a St. Joe
company, along Scenic 30-A. The 499-acre resort was
designed by acclaimed architect, Jaque Robertson, on land held by the St. Joe CompanyŽ since 1927.
A prominent feature of this new community is the
WaterColor Inn.
The inn (dubbed by Arvida as, "The Coastal Retreat with a
 Southern
Accent") was designed by acclaimed restaurant designer, David Rockwell.
Rockwell's impressive accomplishments include designing over 60 Planet Hollywoods. The inn combines the warmth and hospitality associated with
traditional Southern grand hotels, the intimacy of bed-and-breakfast
inns and the charm of classic beach houses.
WaterColor is also home to Fish Out of Water,
one of Scenic 30-A's newest and best restaurants. Here you will find
choice selections of the finest local seafood and prime cuts of meat in
an inventive duneside setting. Sushi
 Bar, exhibition kitchen, private
wine room dining among international vintages, and other artful touches.
The restaurant boasts a wine collection of 3000 bottles, representing
some 325 labels.
Ammenities: WaterColor and WaterColor Inn guests enjoy access to
a variety of diversions situated throughout the 499-acre community.
Western Lake, a rare, 220-acre coastal dune lake bordered by coastal
pine forests, is among them. The BoatHouse outfits canoe, kayak, and
sailing excursions, while the BaitHouse Restaurant serves the catch of
the day and other simple fare.
 The gulf-front Beach Club with its oversized pool deck and grill,
beach sundries, showers and complimentary towel service is conveniently
located adjacent the inn as is WaterColor
Workout, a full-service exercise gym. Cerulean Park, linking gulf to lake, is WaterColor's central gathering space, and Town Center is a collection of
retail shops, offices, and the WaterColor Market. Hiking and biking
paths unfold in an extensive woodland trail system within WaterColor.
Nearby state parks offer differing perspectives of coastal dune lakes,
sand pine scrub, longleaf pine flatwoods, cypress ponds, wet prairies
and titi swamps.
