Tortoise Island

Everything you need to know about your new hometown!

The community of Tortoise Island is tucked away at the edge of the city of Satellite Beach, Florida. Tortoise Island was the very first island community that was developed on the Banana River in Brevard County, and is now maturing wonderfully. The Island's 210 acres are split by three remarkable waterways, all with their own unique character and benefits. The three waterways that flow gently through or around Tortoise Island are the Banana River, Grand Canal and Inner Canal. These waterways are perfect for boating, and you will be amazed at the abundance of wildlife to be seen, including manatees, dolphins, ospreys, herons, pelicans and of course many species of duck and other birds. These give Tortoise Island a spectacularly varied character, and mean that you are never far from the water and all the stunning natural beauty that goes along with this location, especially the spectacularly colorful sunsets over the waterways.

To fully take advantage of the waterfront location, most homes in Tortoise Island have their own private docks, and the waterways are also fully navigable for those who prefer boating and being on the river, rather than directly on the beach. As you can imagine, the fishing here is unsurpassed with more options than you ever thought possible, and also the option to head to the ocean for deep-sea and salt-water fishing of all types. Come to Tortoise Island and let your cares vanish into a dim memory, as your reality is filled with swaying palms, gentle breezes and more sports and leisure opportunities than you have ever thought possible!

The upscale and elegant homes on Tortoise Island have many upgrades and luxuries, including private pools and docks with almost every home. This gated waterfront community offers spacious and inviting facilities including a community pool, fitness center, sauna, tennis courts, boat ramp, and playground for toddlers. This is the perfect place for children to play safely under the warm welcoming glow of the Florida sun. Enjoy the company of your friends and neighbors with laughter over great conversation at neighborhood barbeques and dinner parties. Children in Tortoise Island attend the top "A" rated schools located in Satellite Beach.

Tortoise Island is perfectly situated with two of the main causeways within 4 miles for easy access to the mainland. With only an hour or so commute from Orlando, many professionals choose to live in Tortoise Island and the Satellite Beach area. The endless water views, magnificent sunsets, diverse casual and elegant dining options - with fresh seafood a local favorite - all make this the ideal way to unwind at the end of your work day. The weekends become mini-vacations for boating, fishing, relaxing, leisure activities and other indulgences. All the while still being conveniently close to the attractions, theme parks, sporting events, nightlife and shopping of Orlando, for those weekends when you want to kick the excitement up a notch or two.
