Latitude Margaritaville communities offer a laid-back lifestyle of fun, food, music and escapism that has captured the imagination of today’s vibrant 55 and better home buyers who are growing older…but not up.

Located on Northwest Florida’s Emerald Coast near Panama City Beach and the Scenic Highway 30A corridor, Latitude Margaritaville Watersound is the third of the incredibly popular, award-winning Latitude Margaritaville communities. The first two communities by Minto and Margaritaville are located in Daytona Beach, Florida and near Hilton Head, South Carolina. Additional Latitude Margaritaville communities are being planned for Texas and other popular destinations.

Latitude Margaritaville Watersound is situated in the heart of St. Joe’s vast Bay-Walton Sector Plan that encompasses approximately 110,500 acres with approximately 15 miles of frontage on the Intracoastal Waterway.

“The initial phase of Latitude Margaritaville Watersound is anticipated to include 3,500 homes. There is tremendous potential for growth in this location and, based on the continuing strong demand for homes, we are well into design for the next section of homesites and amenities,” notes Minto’s Latitude Margaritaville Division President William Bullock.

The additional Latitude Town Square amenities will add even more exciting options for fun and entertainment for residents. A colorful Workin’ N’ Playin’ Center complex will include a Last Mango Theater for movies, shows and concerts with a large screen, fully immersive theater sound and a concession stand. There also will be a Hangar Workshop where residents can do woodworking projects or trick out their golf carts, as well as a Clayground Pottery Studio and Arts & Crafts Room. Not to leave out the family pups, there will be a Barkaritaville Pet Spa that provides grooming services and is designed to look like a doghouse. Additional sports courts will include three more pickleball courts, two tennis courts and three bocce courts.

The first Latitude Town Square amenities opened last June to fanfare and fireworks. They include a terraced amphitheater, thatched roof bandshell with full-size concert stage for the community’s robust program of live music, a jumbo screen for live streaming, and recessed dance floor that provides a little cushion and spring for dancers. A two-story Latitude Bar & Chill restaurant and rooftop Overlook Bar provide a menu of Margaritaville inspired food and beverage concoctions and stunning, panoramic views of the Intracoastal Waterway. A massive lagoon-style Paradise Pool has a beach-like gradual entry and its own Tiki Island.

Existing amenities also include a state-of-the-art Fins Up! Fitness Center with indoor lap pool and spa, workout equipment, spin room, fitness classes and wellness programming. There also is a Telegraph Business Center with individual work stations and a board room. In addition to a games lawn with bocce, cornhole, billiards tables, and a putting green, the tennis and pickleball courts have lighting for night play. Residents also can explore the Intracoastal Waterway by kayak from the Port of Indecision kayak launch, and canine residents can get their play on at the Barkaritaville Dog Park.

In addition to the many Latitude Margaritaville amenities, St. Joe has plans for a future full-service public marina and a commercial village adjacent to the community. St. Joe is also developing a healthcare campus, along with Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare and Florida State University (FSU) College of Medicine, located just minutes from Latitude Margaritaville Watersound. The healthcare campus is located on an 87-acre parcel near the intersection of State Highway 79 and Phillip Griffitts Sr. Parkway. In addition to the planned 100-bed inpatient facility, FSU intends to utilize the campus for research focused on successful aging and senior living technology. The first phase is currently under construction.

Latitude Margaritaville Watersound offers four distinct home collections — the Conch Cottage Collection, Caribbean Villas Collection, and Beach and Island Collections of single-family homes. Home designs capture the “no worries” tropical vibe that defines Latitude Margaritaville. Floor plans range from 1,210 to 2,568 square feet under air with pricing from the $300s. Thirteen colorful island-styled model homes are open daily for viewing. A new Vista Collection of luxury two-story homes along the Intracoastal will be introduced soon.

Latitude Margaritaville Watersound is located at 9201 Highway 79, Panama City Beach, Florida. Sales Center hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For information on Latitude Margaritaville, visit www.LatitudeMargaritaville.com or Minto Communities, visit www.mintousa.com.
