Despite its name - there's no beach in Hernando Beach except for one on a creek at a county park.  For decades, Hernando Beach's man-made canals leading to the Gulf of Mexico have attracted middle-class families and retirees who own recreational boats, vacation homes and stilt homes on the water without the fear of breaking their wallets.  But this is changing, thanks in part to the opening of the "Suncoast Parkway", a national housing boom fueled by low interest rates and a love for waterfront property.   Hernando Beach is now peaking the interest of people from all over the country. 

Hernando Beach could not be created today because conservation-minded state and federal laws now prevent the type of dredging and filling that allowed this beautiful community to be built in the early 1960s.  The maze of canals was carved from the Gulf floor and wetlands and the lots were developed from imported loads of dirt. The north end was developed first, which is the reason it has direct access to the Gulf. People living in the newer, deed-restricted community, "Hernando Beach South", reach the Gulf of Mexico only with the assistance of boat lifts. 

Many call this area the "Best-kept secret on the North Suncoast".  Hernando Beach's newest residents come from all over the United States and other parts of the world. The #1 reason for buying in Hernando Beach is that it is a good investment.  At the start of 2004, there were 1,238 homes in Hernando Beach. Over the past five years there were 538 home sales in the community, which doesn't even include the lots that were sold for NEW homes! Potential residents are scouring Florida's central gulf coast, searching for affordable waterfront property, and are surprised to see the comparatively low price of "Hernando Beach" and "Hernando Beach South" (deed restricted) real estate.

For those seeking to live on waterfront property, Hernando Beach gives them a nice sense of isolation.  Entry is guarded on the east by a 6,000-acre wildlife corridor. The five-minute drive through the preserve is considered, by many residents, to be a cleansing transition after an ugly jaunt along a tiring stretch of U.S. 19.  Another draw is that most waterfront communities along Florida's west coast are far more populated and congested. In Hernando Beach, while traffic along Shoal Line Boulevard has increased over the years, it still only takes minutes to get across town. 

"HERNANDO BEACH SOUTH PROPERTY OWNER'S ASSOCIATION"

Several local real estate experts agreed that Hernando Beach will continue to change for many years to come. By their estimates, property values have appreciated to ONLY about 50 percent to 60 percent of where they may eventually reach!
