Exploring Hernando Beach

While there isn’t a beach on the Gulf of Mexico at Hernando Beach, you can find places to swim, paddle, and hike.

Hernando Beach is a name that a developer placed on a coastal area when canals were carved out of the estuary back in the 1960s.

It is a coastal community, but it doesn’t have a beach along the Gulf, just expansive views of the salt marshes.

Access is via Shoal Line Rd between Weeki Wachee and Spring Hill, and you’ll find some fine restaurants along that route.
