Englewood is one of Florida’s best kept secrets. Located in the South end of Sarasota
County and West Charlotte County along the Gulf of Mexico, Englewood has something for all ages
without being “over developed.” We have much to offer the future resident, beautiful sandy
beaches, championship golf courses, the finest in sport fishing, year round water sports,
spectacular weather, and so much more.
Englewood still has that small town feel and yet the area offers the same amenities that a large
city does. Education opportunities are plentiful for students of all ages. Elementary
school age children may attend one of 3 elementary schools. There is one middle school and one
high school. An alternative private school is offered at the Heritage Christian
Academy. Continuing education programs are offered by Lemon Bay High School and Manatee
Community College. There are several other post secondary schools within a 30 minute drive of
Englewood.

Nature lovers will be delighted with what the area has to offer. Bald Eagles, Great
Blue Herons, Sand Hill Cranes, and Osprey are among the few species of birds that call Englewood
home. West Indian Manatee graze, play, mate and give birth to their young in the waters of
Lemon Bay and surrounding creeks, coves and canals. It is not unusual to see bottlenose
dolphins playing in the surf on the beach, or diving and jumping elsewhere in Lemon Bay, anytime of
the year.
|
| One of the most spectacular happenings in Englewood is the annual sea turtle
nesting season. The sea turtles lumber from the sea on dark nights to lay their nests high on
our beaches. In approximately six weeks these eggs will mature, and again on a dark night,
the hatchlings will scamper toward the waves then swim out to sea. |

All services for fishermen can be found in Englewood. You’ll find that
whether you are standing on a bridge, a pier, or on a beach along the mangrove shorelines,
fishermen consistently bring home several varieties of fish. Just to the south of
Englewood is Boca Grande, also known as the “World’s Capital for Tarpon Fishing”. Fishermen
from around the world flock to this area every year to compete in the annual tarpon
tournament. Offshore, natural and artificial reefs are habitats for King Mackerel, Shark,
Grouper, Black Fin Tuna, and many other species of fish.

Are you in the mood for a relaxing round of golf? You will not be disappointed in the wide
range of opportunities offered, from championship courses to pitch-n-putt. These are just a few
reasons why living in Englewood is “just another day in paradise!”
