Welcome to Hardee County! Surrounded by dense lush forest and freshwater rivers, this county provides a calm rural way of living. However, the many things to do and short commute to the beach makes it the perfect spot to make your getaway. The city of Wauchula is the designated county seat and contains a population of just under 5,000. Other cities such as Bowling Green, Zolfo Springs and Ona are filled with many other exciting attractions.
Firstly, the city of Bowling Green is home to the colossal Streamsong Golf Resort. Stay in one of the many luxurious hotel rooms located on the property and dine at one of the many elegant restaurants. As well as an exquisite golf course, the modern architectural grounds are a popular spot for weddings, spa days, and even guided bass fishing tours. Zolfo Springs is another great place to enjoy some fun in the sun. Enjoy a weekend of paddling, fishing, and camping at Pioneer Park, whilst overlooking the Peace River. Next, walk the grounds of the Hardee Wildlife Sanctuary, the sanctuary takes in animals that would not be able to survive on their own and gives them a chance at a better life! Take a piece of nature home with you after a visit to the Bee Barn, where you can purchase products such as raw edible natural honey, natural honey infused skincare and other holistic products.
Lastly, in the city of Ona is the infamous Solomon’s Castle. The castle was built by world famous artist and architect Howard Solomon. The castle serves as a workshop space for him and his team, as well as a place to showcase his work. Within the grounds of the castle is Ona’s #1 restaurant, ‘The Boat in the Moat’, there you can find a menu filled with fresh ingredients and dishes that are adored by tourist and locals alike!
