Jensen Beach, Florida

Laid-back Living with a Small Town Feel

Welcome to Jensen Beach, Florida

Jensen Beach, Florida, is a coastal community located in Martin County. Its history dates back to the late 1800s when it was originally called "Santana." The area was primarily used for pineapple farming, and it thrived until the devastating freezes of the early 1900s destroyed the crops. After the freeze, pineapple farming was replaced by citrus groves, which flourished for several decades.

In 1925, the town was renamed Jensen Beach in honor of Danish immigrant John Laurence Jensen, who established the area's first post office. Over the years, Jensen Beach developed as a fishing village and a popular tourist destination, known for its beautiful beaches and abundant marine life.

These days, Jensen Beach still has that small town feel with a quaint downtown area. Every Thursday evening, you can find locals, part time residents and visitors walking through downtown Jensen Beach enjoying local artists, crafts, music, food and beverages all year round. Located in Martin County. Jensen Beach currently has a population of approximately 13,000.
