On Cape Haze Peninsula where the white sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico meet
Lemon Bay, you'll discover Englewood-a charming beach community ready to welcome
you to cool tropical breezes and warm hospitality. Englewood has something for
everyone to enjoy. From pristine nature parks, great restaurants and a thriving
art community to swimming, boating, fishing and golf.
Here you can sink your toes into soft white sand while searching for exotic seashells
or come face-to-face with a gopher tortoise on an exhilarating hike through Cedar
Point. Not to mention watching dolphins frolic on a dolphin sight and sound tour.
Charlotte County's beaches are one of Florida's Best-Kept Secrets - easily accessible
yet quiet and remote enough to attract abundant bird life, dolphins, sea turtles
and other wildlife. There are no big crowds here, just plenty of white sand lapped
by gentle waves from the Gulf of Mexico decorated with colorful shells.
