Sundial to present Red, White & Beach Pool Parties
An island resort will offer some summertime fun in recognition of America’s milestone birthday.
The Sundial Beach Resort & Spa will host Red, White & Beach Pool Parties on June 27, July 25 and Aug. 29 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sanibel. Open to the public with admission paid day of, the celebrations will feature access to the pool and beach, recreational activities, entertainment and more.
“It is a summer celebration for America 250,” General Manager Becky Miller said.
The resort sold day passes after reopening post-hurricane, but has since stopped doing so.
“We’ve had a huge demand for people inquiring about them,” she said. “So this is a way to invite guests in again.”
Each monthly party will tie in to a theme. June will recognize National Sunglasses Day, July will celebrate National Tropical Fruit Day and August will be themed after National Bow-tie Day.
There will be beach and pool time.
“People will have access to use the pool area, also the umbrellas and shaded areas,” Miller said.
“There are activities at the pool all day,” she added.
Cabanas will also be available for an additional fee.
“They’ll have access to our beach and beach umbrellas,” she said. “There is umbrella service available out on beach.”
Recreational activities will include kayaks and paddleboards, plus arts and crafts for the young ones.
“It could be shell crafts to tie-dye to making a little backpack,” Miller said. “There’s all different things that we do.”
Bingo will take place at 3 p.m. at the pool.
“Everybody loves it because you can float in the water or lounge in your chair and play,” she said. “It’s a lot of fun for all ages.”
Prizes will be available for the winners, like a drink, ice cream cone or even a shirt.
“So different types of prizes with that,” Miller said.
There will be live music from noon to 3 p.m. June and July will feature acoustic guitarist John McClane with some poolside favorites, and Shore-Nuff will offer up classic rock in August.
Admission comes with a dining credit.
“It gives them access to the pool deck restaurants, which is Beach Bites and Turtle’s Tiki Bar,” she said.
Beach Bites features items like pizza, subs, strombolis and ice cream, while Turtle’s serves up more “beach food,” like grouper sandwiches, burgers and tacos, plus lighter fare like salads and wraps.
There will be speciality red, white and blue drinks.
“We’ll have special, themed America 250 drinks at the pool bar,” Miller said.
Each party will also have a sponsor, so shot girls or representatives offering product samples.
The cost is $50 for adults and $30 for youths, which includes the dining credit of $30 for adults and $15 for youths. There is no advance ticketing, so people should arrive early to secure their spot.
For a longer stay, the resort is offering packages.
The community is invited to come out.
“It’s just a fun day to relax with family and enjoy the beach and pool,” she said.
