WaterColor is a fine example southern coastal architecture, defined by color palette and architectural style. There are five public parks for residents and guests to relax outside, and a large outdoor amphitheater which serves as the setting for concerts and festivals on Western Lake. There are three restaurants for casual or elegant dining, a gourmet market, pools, a boathouse, and a traditional southern cutting garden create an inviting atmosphere. Except for the cutting garden in Cerulean Park, all landscaping at WaterColor beach is native to Florida's Panhandle, and homeowners are encouraged to continue the tradition.
