Why Is Innerarity Special
Fox & Wildlife Amongst Us
Innerarity Island is famous for our beautiful and gentle foxes that inhabit our wildlife community. We also have deer, endless varieties of birdlife such as osprey , bald eagle, hawks, and woodpeckers. Armadillos, raccoons and yes a few snakes can be found as well!
Amazing Views
One of the best views is found just driving onto the island. Once past the entrance, the scenery just continues to get better. Sunrises compete with the sunsets with their beauty. Go to the community park to sit and enjoy both from one of our picnic tables or swing! Take the kayak out and paddle to the front of the island and sit on the beach and enjoy the island life in peace!
Friends & Family
Best of all, the island provides the gift of a beautiful natural environment to spend time with family or with one of your many friends and neighbors that also get to share this one of kind home we call Innerarity Island!

resident Dennis Profitt pens a poem inspired by our island
Innerarity Island
The bay breeze makes the saw palmetto sway.
Like greetings from a friendly neighbor’s wave.
Life here is slower in its movement and style.
Golf cart cruises and evening walks on the isle.
A bastion of freedom, independence and hope.
From Tarpon and Red Cedar to the rise up the slope.
North Shore and Innerarity comprise most of the paths,
along the wooded island’s northern and southern halves.
Perdido Bay washes along the northern shoreline.
To the south, Russell Bayou and the beach condo skyline.
Shaded by oak trees, magnolias and pines.
Squirrels fuss, scamper, hide acorns and climb.
The blue jays vociferous, the frogs with their song.
All creatures call out from whence they belong.
The thrasher scatters leaves, forages and calls; underneath brush and beautyberry flush in the fall.
Locusts with the melodic rhythm they create.
The woodpecker’s percussion reverberates.
A marriage of ruggedness, saltwater and sand.
Tank tops and flip-flops the cultural brand.
It’s easy to startle a lovely grazing deer,
or one of the many foxes that roam here.
Otters that bound across the road just to go,
from intracoastal to bay for variety in flow.
Those blessed and grateful for another sunny day,
are the island-dwellers, Russell Bayou to the bay.
