Market Reports Jensen Beach
Jensen Beach is an unincorporated community in Martin County, Florida
The history of Jensen Beach in the 19th century revolved around pineapple farming. John Laurence Jensen, an immigrant from Denmark, arrived in 1881, and set up his Pineapple Plantation, which became the town of Jensen.
By 1895, Jensen was called the "Pineapple Capital of the World”. The pineapple has become a symbol of Jensen Beach. The fruit legacy is celebrated annually during the Jensen Beach Pineapple Festival.
Jensen Beach occupies the northeast corner of Martin County. It is bordered to the east by the Indian River Lagoon and the town of Ocean Breeze, to the southeast by the town of Sewall’s Point, to the south by unincorporated Rio, to the southwest by the city of Stuart, to the northwest by US1 (Federal Hwy), and to the north by the city of Port Saint Lucie.
"Jensen" originally meant the area immediately adjacent to modern-day downtown Jensen Beach.
Jensen Beach is a part of Florida's Treasure Coast Region, which derives its name from the ships that wrecked during the 17th century because of coral reefs in the shallow waters. Artifacts and treasures from these ships of Spanish origin can still be discovered today.
The Skyline Drive area includes some of the highest points in the community, reaching an elevation of 70 feet (21 m) at one point.
The climate in the area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters.
