Southern Dunes

[ShirleyD]

Walmart sells almost everything, not just food and usually in fairly large sizes. Winn Dixie (still walking distance) has less choice, but some great meat and fish for the BBQ with a good salad choice and great if you just want the odd thing as there is less likely to be a queue.

Taco Bell, right by Winn Dixie, also sells pizza hut pizza and just over H27 (it is walking distance, but I am not keen to walk over the main road) is Mac Donalds, checkers (burgers I think) and at the next lights is a kentucky. You can get chinese delivered

Shirley,

If you decide to use Winn Dixie sign up for a Winn Dixie card - as you can get some very good offers. We have saved quite a lot over the years.

Southern Dunes Clubhouse does some very nice meals and the Sunday breakfast buffet is always very popular.

There is also a Chinese takeaway just past Winn Dixie. The Orange Ring sells lovely freshly squeezed fruit juice. It is okay to cross the road as there are now pedestrian lights - we have done it. The other side of the road also has a Dollar Market, Dairy Queen, Liquer Store, Popeyes. Next door to Manny's is T-Bones which has a wide and varied menu. Each side of the road has a large chemist.

Sanford airport is approx 1hr 20 mins and there are 2 main driving options. First is to take the toll roads which can be quicker depending on the time of day you arrive or you can use mainly the US-17-92 / US-17 S / US-92 S and the I4 this is a shorter route and can take as long if not longer than the toll roads.

Check out the State Parks they are a great alternative for an outing - The Old Spanish Sugar Mill is a unique restaurant where you can cook your own pancakes on a griddle and is located inside the DeLeon Springs State park, we also went on a boat trip and saw quite a lot of wildlife.
