North Port is the fifth largest city in Florida, with 77 square miles of land, an 8,000-acre state forest within its limits and only nine percent of which is actually populated. In season, the population measures 17,000.
Just 20 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico, North Port offers that rare combination of a relaxed country lifestyle and easy access to all the conveniences of a big city. Every day feels like a vacation in North Port, with its unlimited recreational opportunities and 1,000 acres of beautiful parks right at home in one of the best year-round climates to be found anywhere.
Average temperatures are 69 degrees in January and 84 in July, making golf, swimming, boating and fishing popular year round activities. North Port also boasts direct access to the stunning Myakka River, a designated “Wild and Scenic River” with alligators aquatic birds and more. For a close-up and very personal view of the river, be sure to take the Nav-a-gator Riverboat Ride.
