Ozona is a small community located on the west-central coast of Florida. It hugs the Gulf of Mexico south of Tarpon Springs and north of Dunedin and Clearwater. Ozona is the very definition of eclectic. With multi-million dollar mansions sitting next door to tumble-down beach shacks; from out-of-the-way dessert shops to some of the greatest restaurants in Pinellas County; we have that perfect mix of work and play that makes for a place you're happy to call "home".

 

Since the beginning of it's human history, possibly 12,000 years ago, Ozona has experienced the same changing times as the rest of the country. From Spanish exploration, Indian wars, the civil war and the great depression, Ozona has tried to hold onto it's unique character and small community atmosphere.
