Discover the real Florida
Rich in natural beauty and friendly local businesses, Englewood was described best by one of its shopkeepers as “the closest you’ll get to Old Florida charm.”
Visitors strolling along picturesque Dearborn Street will discover quaint shops touting local art pieces and beach knickknacks, along with an impressive selection of casual but delicious dining options. Most of the restaurants on Dearborn take advantage of the street’s quiet charm and offer outdoor seating; even the tiniest of cafes have tables scattered along the sidewalk, nearly all of which are occupied by happy customers biting into a gourmet sandwich or sipping a glass of chilled wine.
Englewood is home to a number of parks that offer outdoor recreation and breathtaking views of the water. Couples enjoy exploring Lemon Bay Park’s secluded trails that wind through mangroves and lead to a series of docks that jut out into the bay. Indian Mound Park rests on an area of land that reaches into Lemon Bay, providing gorgeous 180-degree views of the water. The wooden benches sprinkled along the waterfront practically beg visitors to have a seat and watch the kayakers, windsurfers, and seabirds glide along.
An unforgettable sunset takes place at Englewood’s Royal Palm Marine, where visitors can enjoy dinner on the bay and admire the lighthouse that is the subject of many local artists’ work.
Humble, relaxed and welcoming, Englewood is the kind of place that knows how to enjoy being in paradise.
