Aquarina Beach & Racquet Club

Aquarina Beach & Racquet Club is an exclusive gated community in Melbourne Beach, Brevard County, occupying a barrier island position between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon. The community provides both direct Atlantic oceanfront access and Intracoastal Waterway frontage, making it one of the few residential addresses in Brevard County where residents can access both the ocean and the river from within the same community. Amenities include private beach access, a marina with boat slips on the Intracoastal, tennis courts, a swimming pool, and a clubhouse. The community's barrier island setting — surrounded by water on both sides — gives Aquarina a level of natural character and privacy unusual even for Brevard County's oceanfront market.

Aquarina's pricing reflects its rare dual-water position on Brevard County's barrier island. Entry-level condominiums and smaller attached homes in the community run $450K–$700K. Single-family homes and townhomes on interior community lots run $600K–$1.2M. Intracoastal-fronting homes with boat dock access run $900K–$2.5M+. True oceanfront positions within the community — direct Atlantic frontage — command $1.5M–$4M+. The community's gated privacy, private beach, and marina access justify a meaningful premium over Melbourne Beach's general residential market. Aquarina is consistently one of Brevard County's most competitive luxury community markets due to the scarcity of its dual-water position.

Yes — Aquarina's barrier island position provides access to both the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon. The community's marina on the Intracoastal Waterway offers boat slips and access to the Indian River Lagoon's navigable system, which extends north and south through Brevard County and connects to the Atlantic via multiple inlets. The private beach on the Atlantic side provides ocean swimming, fishing, and sunbathing within the community's secure perimeter. The Indian River Lagoon adjacent to the community is one of Florida's most biodiverse estuaries — dolphin sightings, manatee presence, and exceptional fishing are part of daily life for Aquarina residents.

Melbourne Beach is a barrier island municipality on Brevard County's southern coast, approximately 5 miles south of downtown Melbourne across the Indian River Lagoon via the Eau Gallie Causeway and SR-192.

The Brevard County aerospace and defense employment corridor — Kennedy Space Center, Harris Corporation (now L3Harris), Northrop Grumman, and the Port Canaveral defense industrial base — is 20–40 minutes north depending on the specific employer. Downtown Orlando is approximately 75 miles west via I-95 or US-192, roughly 70–80 minutes in normal traffic. Melbourne Beach residents typically access I-95 via US-192 east-west connection.
