Melbourne Florida
I'm not sure this really fits, but here goes.
Ballard Park is where the recent Alter Cup was actually held. I did not actually sail from there but it seems fairly straight forward.
There are no hotels on site but the one recommend was quite nice. It is about 4 miles from the site and easy to find.
