Daily routines vary. Here is ours.

Best practices and observations from this board say that you should try to get to the various beaches by 10 a.m. or perhaps a bit earlier to make sure you get a good place to park and get the best choices of location for your chairs etc. on the beach.

We try to do that but are admittedly sometimes late.

We leave the beaches around 2 p.m. or so and head back to our housing. Once there a nap is usually in order along with preparing for dinner.

We head out for dinner at 5-6 p.m. and plan to have a cocktail or 2 before eating. Dinner in most places takes an hour or longer. You should try to make a reservation even in the low season to lock in your seating time.

After dinner, we usually head for one of the casinos for some fun or go to the Red Piano or another of the live music venues.

Hope this helps.
