Why Pickleball is the New Golf—and Why Your Caribbean Home Needs a Court

Move over golf, there's a new sport dominating upscale communities across the globe—and it's called pickleball. Once considered a niche activity, pickleball has skyrocketed in popularity among retirees, athletes, and luxury buyers alike. Fast, fun, and incredibly social, it's now a lifestyle cornerstone—and a real estate feature buyers actively seek out.

So what happens when you combine Caribbean beachfront living with your own private pickleball court?

Welcome to Camp Bay Estates in Roatan, where active luxury meets serene island life.
