Club Med Sandpiper

Brace yourself. You're about to get quite a workout. Here on the balmy banks of the St. Lucie River, just north of West Palm Beach in Florida, is the country-club style mecca of golf and tennis. New on the agenda this year is the Taog Khris in-line skating school equipped with half pipe. Some 400 acres surround this unparalleled resort which features two 18-hole golf courses, a golf academy with access to a Jack Nicklaus course as well as two PGA courses. And while you're doing 40-love on the courts, your kids will be doing 40 tiny laps in a pool just for them (one of five). For a change, water ski on the mirror-like river. And then change over to the casual but fabulous dining at La Fontana or Riverside restaurants. A paradise for golfers, children's clubs from 4 months and a host of activities for every age and inclination.
