Wekiva Island, 1014 Miami Springs Drive, Longwood, FL 32779
Tucked along the banks of the Wekiva River in Longwood, Florida, Wekiva Island offers a rare escape into old-Florida calm just minutes from the suburbs. Towering cypress trees shade the waterfront, and the spring-fed current runs cool and clear year-round. Wekiva Island draws visitors who want to slow down, float the river, or simply sit on the dock with a cold drink. It is the kind of place that feels unhurried, where the sound of the water does most of the talking.
