Lemon Bay is separated from the Gulf of Mexico by Manasota Key and Knight Island, and the Gulf is accessible through an Intracoastal Waterway which passes through the middle of the bay. With four pristine beaches, Englewood is also known as one of Florida’s best kept secrets. Here people enjoy a variety of outdoors activities like swimming, boating, shelling, canoeing, picnics, jet skiing or even just catching a few rays. Lemon Bay has become known as a prime fishing site, as well as nearby Stump Pass, and maintains a small fishing town flavor.
There are a number of waterfront properties available all along the coast of Lemon Bay from condominiums and villas to single family homes. Small towns such as Grove City and deed restricted communities such as the Rotonda give Lemon Bay a wide variety of real estate options.

A popular tourist destination, Lemon Bay is also an ideal setting to start up your next investment property or vacation home.
Lemon Bay earned its name from being the home of a large citrus grove in the early 1900’s. One winter, the bitter frost destroyed the groves, but the name has stuck since.
