Apollo Beach is a vibrant waterfront community located in Hillsborough County near Tampa, Florida. It features over 50 miles of interconnected canals that pass under the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and lead to Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Many of Tampa’s most spectacular waterfront homes sit along the waters’ edge.

Residents can boat, fish, and participate in a variety of enjoyable water activities throughout the year. Or they can enjoy the 18-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones, or simply relax on the spectacular beaches throughout the area.
