Preserve at Turnbull Bay

Founded by local artist Doris "Doc" Leeper, this tranquil artist seminary plays hosts to artists worldwide, and invites them to come and create art at the center. The center itself is an architectural marvel in the modern architectural style, but in an area that feels surprisingly remote for an arts center, hidden inside the rainforest. Exhibits are always coming and going.

Small golf course south of Turnbull Bay and the NSB sports complex.

This secluded wildlife preserve offers miles of lonely trails that lead to 60 ft sand cliffs that slope gracefully into Spruce Creek. These sand bluffs are among the largest in Florida. The trail signs tend to be confusing, so use a GPS such as your smartphone on satellite view to keep track of where you are.

A larger golf course and Italian restaurant south of Hidden Lakes; the main golf course in the city.

One of the most beautiful sites in NSB, the islet is tidal and accessible only by boat. Local travel agencies organize tours of the island, while locals who are familiar with the tides and waterways come on their own boats. At low tide the islet, which is covered by low shrubs and beaches, offers beautiful views of Ponce Inlet to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the north and south.

Small aquarium and tour agency. Tours launch from the marina on North Causeway, not the site of the aquarium.
