Average monthly high temperatures are between 71-90 degrees and lows average 51-73 degrees.

Some folks prefer the protected waters of Lemon Bay and Charlotte Harbor, others delighting in the still waters of the Intra Coastal Waterway. Dolphin frolic near boaters as they scurry to their destination or just anchor up to do some fishing. World famous photographers visit each year to document our rare and exotic wild life. Visitors have the option to spend time on a guided fishing boat, go kayaking, speed away on a jet ski, or rent a boat to explore for a day.

Indian Mound State Park on Lemon Bay, is a ‘favorite’ spot for many, you can picnic, launch your boat, or just meet friends to watch the Dolphins feed and play in the shallows. This isn’t a water-world-like show, but wildlife in their own habitat. Egret, pelicans and dolphin make this picnic area a “favorite lunch spot” for many.

Travel a few minutes south on Indiana; ... go right on Beach Rd, ...over the Draw Bridge, and you’ll find yourself at one of the nicest sandy beaches on Florida’s West Coast. Englewood Beach has become quite the “hot-spot”, as many have discovered its placid, resort-like setting. A great place to “hang” for some sun, swimming, picnic, and later, dinner across the street. Go a mile or so further south on Beach Rd, and you’ll discover Stump Pass Beach/State Park, a ‘not-as-well-known’ beach with comparable qualities.
