South Gulf Cove Info
South Gulf Cove is a true waterfront community with boating access to the Gulf of Mexico. There are over 55 miles of navigable waterways in the community offering boat access to over 4,700 waterfront home sites and homes! All waterways flow into the Interceptor Lagoon, which can be described as a large lake offering access to the Gulf. The lagoon offers a pristine shoreline as much of the waterfront is designated as State Preserve. Water depths range from 6-13 feet and all bridges offer a minimum of 9 ft clearance, the Saint Paul bridge offers 11 ft clearance. All properties North of Calumet Blvd. and South of Appelton Blvd are designated as Sailboat Water and do not have any bridges impeding navigation. All waterways in the community maintain consistent depths because of a lock system controlling water flow, to and from, the Myakka River. The lock is simple to operate and passage takes about 8 minutes once you become accustomed to it. South Gulf Cove offers more “boat able” days than any other community because we don’t have tidal restrictions. Also, when inclement weather is present, you can almost always enjoy a day of touring the waterways and lagoon.
Not all homes and home sites are located on the water. There are 10,000 lots located on interior sites. These properties have become very popular because of the proximity to a community boat ramp and a public boat ramp with quick gulf access just 6 miles from the community. Buying or building a home on an interior lot provides an opportunity to live in a waterfront atmosphere with easy access to boat lunches at a fraction of the cost.
