Why move to Jensen Beach?
Tucked into Florida’s east coast between Stuart and Fort Pierce, Jensen Beach has earned a reputation for seafood-intensive fine dining and a laid-back, water-loving lifestyle. Boating, sailing, fishing, water skiing, surfing, and scuba diving are all part of everyday life, and the area’s protected beaches attract several species of endangered sea turtles during nesting season. Once known as the “Pineapple Capital of the World,” Jensen Beach still holds an annual pineapple festival — and since the pineapple is a symbol of hospitality, the community lives up to that welcoming spirit every day. Add Florida’s lack of a state income tax, and the appeal is clear. (Weighing it? See the pros and cons of moving to South Florida.)
