The Englewood Beach corridor encompasses the Manasota Key section of Sarasota County and the Lemon Bay waterfront of the mainland community of Englewood. Manasota Key’s barrier island separates the Gulf of Mexico to the west from Lemon Bay to the east — a Florida Outstanding Florida Waterway designation providing the same type of permanent ecological protection for the back-bay that is so difficult to find in developed Gulf Coast markets.
Lemon Bay Outstanding Florida Waterway
Lemon Bay is designated as an Outstanding Florida Waterway — the highest water quality protection category in Florida’s environmental regulatory system. The designation prevents the dredging, filling, and pollution activities that have degraded comparable back-bay systems throughout South Florida. For estate owners on Lemon Bay, this designation is a permanent legal protection ensuring the bay’s water clarity, seagrass meadows, and wildlife populations remain as they are today, regardless of development pressure in the surrounding area.
