Central 7 Mile Beach
The most expensive area of 7 Mile Beach. Most of the islands newest and most exclusive beachfront condo resorts enjoy this prime location. There are a couple of older condo resorts here as well though, so for those on a budget, a non-oceanview condo at an oceanfront resort will still give you the best location at a much more reasonable price.
This area has absolutely perfect powdery white sand beaches with no rocks or ironshore. The sea bottom is nice and sandy, and is perfect for wading in the shallows, or playing in the gentle surf. You may be lucky enough to see a sea turle, stingray, schools of fish or other sea creatures while snorkeling in this area, but snorkeling is generally better in other areas where there is a rockier sea bottom with coral heads.
There are a number of restaurants (everything from fast food to fine dining), bars, shops, water sports and other activities concentrated in this area, so most everything is within easy walking distance of the condos. There is a large modern supermarket and pharmacy in this area as well (across the street from the Meridian).
The old real estate adage of "location, location, location" certainly applies here, as this is the prime location on 7 Mile Beach.
