Hernando Beach Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Hernando Beach is a town situated on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico along the West Coast of Florida known as the “Nature Coast.” Although small, it is the largest of the Hernando coastal communities, and is surrounded by the waters of the Gulf, many rivers, canals and ponds. The region is known for its’ careful preservation of area wetlands and forests, and residents take great pride in their natural environment. The WeekiWachee Preserve is a 6,000 acre protected wildlife area that separates Hernando Beach from the inland areas of Spring Hill. Recreation in the area includes fishing (Hernando Beach is considered the best Tarpon fishing grounds in the world,) boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and birdwatching. The nearby Withlacoochee State Forest has trails for hiking, biking, horseback riding, as well as swimming, fishing, canoeing and camping. Hernando Beach has its’ own network of man made canals that connect to the Gulf of Mexico and the town has upscale homes, restaurants, shops and marinas. Going out for a moonlight sail or viewing a spectacular Gulf sunset are a way of life in Hernando Beach. This town is located just 35 miles north of downtown Tampa.

Hernando Beach Weather & Climate

The Central West Coast just northwest of Tampa Bay, enjoys a semi tropical climate with warm Gulf breezes and plenty of sunshine - 361 days of sun per year. Although thunderstorms are frequent in summertime, they are short in duration and the sun quickly reappears behind the clouds. However, hot temperatures, along with the rain and the Gulf of Mexico help contribute to high humidity levels during this time, as well. June through September receives the most rain, with the rest of the year being pretty dry by comparison. Many believe the most pleasant weather is found during the winter months between November and March when the humidity becomes more bearable and winds from the Bay and Gulf help moderate the temperatures.
