Carillon Bell Tower
Located down Carillon Avenue from the entrance, our small-town ‘main street,’ is a cherished landmark to residents and a surprise and delight to newcomers. Surrounded by live oaks and sandy paths, the Carillon Bell Tower extends almost fifty feet in height, and is the centerpiece of Carillon Circle and the namesake for our community. Carillon – the French word for ‘chime’ – creates the feeling of a charming coastal village. From 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. bells count out the time each hour, then … listeners are treated to a harmonious tune played by 35 carillon bells … simply charming! The bell tower is just one small slice of heaven for our vacationers and permanent residents alike!
Beach Club Pool
Two staircases converge as you ascend to the pool deck to enjoy the majestic view of shimmering, emerald Gulf waters and Carillon Beach’s white sand beach. Drink in the gulf breeze as waves reach the shore, and relaxation is redefined. Enjoy the splendor of the gulf view poolside or continue up to one of two covered verandas complete with comfortable pool furniture, tables and chairs. Oversized, colorful Bahama shutters provide a reprieve of shade from the warm Florida sun. It’s like having an open-air family room by the sea with a view of Lake Carillon as an added bonus – a two for one at the same location. Succumb to the melodic song of the breaking waves and walk down Walkover #5 to the soft, sugary sand of Carillon Beach’s exceptional and uncrowded beach.
Lake Carillon Pool
Carillon Beach pools are located throughout the community and offer unique design features. The pool is situated at the eastern end of the community at the edge of Lake Carillon. The pool is heated from November through May.

A Jacuzzi is built into the pool, but not to be missed is the quiet and serene viewing deck that overlooks Carillon Lake. Sit back and enjoy the warm Florida sun while listening to the bell tower chimes echo across the lake as lake grasses rustle in the gentle breeze.
Bellview Park and Pool
Bellview Park is the perfect place for all your family’s activities.

In addition to the expansive grass area, the park also includes the following major amenities:

Bellview Pool is the largest of Carillon Beach's three pools with a spacious deck, tables with umbrellas, a children's pool and pool house. A stained glass Florida sunrise is featured three stories above the pool deck and allows entry of natural light into the pool house. Spotlights dazzle the eye by night acting as a north beacon to the Carillon Beach Community. This pool is heated from November to May.
The lighted, full size basketball court is a multi-purpose amenity that supports a friendly game of “horse”, pickup basketball games, and other court-based games. The court is co-located with the playground, the Bellview Pool, and the tennis courts.

The sparkling emerald gulf provides a backdrop for our pristine 13 acre lake that is surrounded by gorgeous pastel colored homes, Market Street, the Carillon Beach Inn, and Sunrise and Sunset Condominiums.
Lake Carillon is abundant with turtles, bass and migratory birds including the majestic heron. It’s the perfect place to practice your skills in a kayak or on a paddle board. You can also try your luck and cast a fishing line from the shore. Relax on the lake’s pier and watch Lake Carillon transform into magical glass, celebrating the waning day and reflecting the surrounding night lights.
