Yep, we’re talkin’ bright turquoise water, beachy vibes, and Florida sunshine for days. This isn’t your typical swimming pool or beach—this is 7 acres of pure aquatic bliss that’s got everything from paddleboarding to floating cabanas. It’s part of a growing community called MetroLagoons, and Southshore Bay is straight-up leading the way when it comes to redefining what it means to cool off in style.
