Are you looking for a beach experience without having to travel? Artificial lagoons offer an excellent alternative that brings the beach closer for families living far from the coast. CBS television channel in Tampa, 10 Tampa Bay, highlights this while referring to the revolution of the crystalline lagoons with Crystal Lagoons® technology in Florida. Since it arrived in this state, Crystal Lagoons has had a meteoric success, and its monumental lagoons have become the most impactful amenity, just as in various states across the U.S. market. Some iconic projects include Evermore Orlando Resort, steps away from Disney World and Universal, in the heart of the most visited destination in the United States; SoLé Mia, Epperson, Mirada, Southshore Bay, Brightwater, Aqua, Emerald Lakes, Ridgewood, Lake Susy, Tamiami, and Haines City, among others.
Artificial lagoons have transformed the lifestyle in Florida. They are a sales driver, provide quality of life, and serve as a meeting point for nautical activities and family entertainment. These bodies of water allow for the enjoyment of the tropical paradise all year round, adding unique value to the projects, residents, and visitors.
10 Tampa Bay uses the “lagoon effect,” as developers have called it, to exemplify the phenomenon generated by the multinational projects in Tampa. In Wesley Chapel, Epperson was Florida’s first Crystal Lagoons development. From the beginning, it positioned itself as a sales success, annually leading all rankings of the best-performing real estate complexes, thanks to its great attraction: a 7-acre crystalline lagoon.
Another project highlighted by the media is Mirada, the largest artificial lagoon in the United States, located in San Antonio, Pasco County. Spanning 15 acres of turquoise waters surrounded by white sand beaches, it offers an aquatic life environment with various activities, such as water slides, floating obstacle courses, kayaking, paddleboarding, and much more.
The 5-acre lagoon at the Southshore Bay project in Wimauma has become an entertainment magnet, offering a variety of activities that can be enjoyed in the lagoon or its surroundings, such as live music, water slides, obstacle courses, or yoga. This project is designed for adults over 55 who wish to maintain an active social life, with an exclusive and restricted access area. At the same time, the rest of the lagoon operates under the Public Access Lagoons®, also known as PAL® developments, allowing non-residents to enjoy the lagoon through ticketed entry.
