Most of us spend at least part of the year counting down to our next vacation. But SkyBeach Resort (6800 Sunshine Skyway Lane S) has another idea: why not make vacation part of your regular routine all year?
The SkyBeach Summer Club is a year-round membership for locals who wouldn’t mind a little more beach time in their lives. Whether it’s a quick afternoon by the pool, a sunset drink after work, or a weekend spent soaking up the sun, the club gives locals another reason to spend time at the resort throughout the year.
Summer Club members basically get the run of the place. That means SkyBeach’s two pools, the private beach, a hot tub, loungers and towel service whenever you want them, plus kayaks and paddleboards for days you’re feeling a little more adventurous. Head over to SouthSide Sports and you’ve also got tennis, pickleball, and beach volleyball courts waiting. And that’s before you factor in waterfront dining, live entertainment, lawn games, fire pits, and a rotating lineup of member events. There’s genuinely always a new reason to swing by!
Members also score discounts on dining, overnight stays, cabanas, day beds, and guest passes, so bringing friends along (or turning a day trip into an overnight one) is that much easier. Memberships are available month to month for individuals, families, and children.

More ways to spend the day
SkyBeach sits just minutes from downtown St. Pete, yet it feels like another world once you’re settled in a lounge chair beneath a palm tree. With waterfront views near the Skyway and plenty of room to relax, it’s a spot that makes it easy to forget you have emails waiting at home. You can spend any day of the year feeling like you’re on summer vacation.
One of the best things about the Summer Club is that no two visits have to look the same. One afternoon might be spent lounging by the pool with a good book, while another could mean meeting friends for drinks by the water or spending the day on the beach.
LUMA, the resort’s on-site Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, serves everything from brunch and happy hour bites to dinner and dessert, making it easy to turn a quick visit into a full afternoon or evening.
Those who like to mix up their relaxation time with activities have plenty of options, too. Members can hit the tennis, pickleball, and beach volleyball courts, while boaters receive discounts on overnight dockage at the marina.
Members have access to kayaks, paddleboards, and a private beach
A full calendar of activities
Some days, stretching out in a lounge chair is enough, and on others, it’s nice to have something extra planned. Throughout the week, Summer Club members can join activities like beach yoga, sunset movie nights, tequila tastings, and live entertainment. Again, there’s complimentary access to kayaks and paddleboards, which offers another way to spend some time on the water.
Families can also stop by for fun activities like seashell painting, while adults enjoy monthly member happy hours with live music and the chance to meet other regulars.
Stay in a year-round summer state of mind
Live like it’s always summer
That’s really the idea behind the Summer Club. Not every day can be a vacation, but having a private beach, waterfront pools, and a calendar of pre-planned activities nearby doesn’t hurt.
Whether you’re stopping by for a quick swim or catching a movie under the stars, it’s a simple way to hold onto your summer state of mind a little longer. Learn more about Summer Club and follow SkyBeach Resort on Instagram for more deals and events.
