Wauchula is a secluded little town located in Hardee County in central Florida. This region is referred to as “Florida’s Freshwater Frontier” and is conveniently located 80 miles southwest of Orlando, 80 miles southeast of Tampa and 80 miles northeast of Fort Myers. In Wauchula you will find serene beauty, pristine lakes, creeks and rivers, forested regions and bountiful wildlife. This is a very historic area of Florida’s first pioneers who settled in the Heartland. You can follow their trails in the three distinct regions of the area – Lake Okeechobee Territory, The Highlands Ridge and The Peace River Valley. Enjoy the abundant outdoor recreational opportunities each area has to offer, such as hiking, biking, fishing, boating, swimming and canoeing. This lovely area is full of charming, small “home towns,” with family run businesses, bed & breakfasts and historic inns. Wauchula is definitely a Florida off the beaten path, waiting to be discovered and explored. When you visit Wauchula, you can say goodbye to the tourist crowds and congested highways, and hello to tranquil natural beauty and true southern hospitality.

Wauchula Weather & Climate

South Central Florida, in the general area located southeast of Tampa, has a semi-tropical climate. It is warm and humid with almost daily thundershowers in the summertime, and delightfully pleasant winters with much less rain than summer. The rainy season for Florida is May through September, with the most rain in late summer. Thunderstorms usually do not interfere with outdoor plans because they tend to pop up quickly and do not last long. Central Florida, perhaps less exposed to cooling ocean breezes, has a longer period of high-temperature, high-humidity days than southern Florida. Winters are very lovely and mild during the day with cool evenings.
