November 28, 2018 by [Islands](https://blog.theislandsrealty.com/author/islands) 0 Comments - - - - ![AdobeStock_82077189](https://blog.theislandsrealty.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AdobeStock_82077189.jpeg?width=482&height=321&name=AdobeStock_82077189.jpeg)Many parts of the country have had a long, harsh winter this year and could only dream of the type of weather Florida living offers year round. The suncoast area has an average annual temperature of 72.6 degrees and enjoys beautiful sunshine and blue skies on the vast majority of days. Even in July, high temperatures in this part of Florida average 91 degrees. Soothing Gulf breezes will help the temperature feel cooler.

During any season, you’ll be able to enjoy all the Florida recreational activities that The Islands on the Manatee River has to offer. This gorgeous new home community is situated on a 225-acre secluded island in Florida’s beautiful suncoast. Even on less-than-ideal days, you’ll always have a comfortable activity to pursue. Exercise indoors at our Fitness Center if it’s raining, or enjoy fishing or boating on a hot day. **Golf** The [River Wilderness Golf Course](http://theislandsofrw.com/lifestyle/golf/) is the perfect place to spend a day in the Florida sunshine. You’ll enjoy golfing on an 18-hole, par 72 championship course designed by Ted McAnlis, a renowned golf course architect. The views are beyond compare, since the course is situated on 150 beautiful acres in a natural setting. **Boating** Our community has miles of river waters perfect for boating, kayaking, or simply enjoying the Florida weather from your private dock. Head to the Gulf of Mexico for sport fishing, or fly fish in the Manatee River. After a day on the river or Gulf, compare your “fish stories” at the River House, a hub for community activities. Enjoy socializing as you enjoy the beautiful views, or use our outdoor cooking facilities to host a get-together, maybe even grilling some of the fish you caught. **Fitness & Tennis Complex** Enjoy a friendly tennis match or take a lesson at our 3,800 square foot [Fitness & Tennis Complex](http://theislandsofrw.com/lifestyle/fitness-racquet-complex/). We frequently host tournaments for players of every ability to enjoy.
