About South Bay
South Bay is a small Glades city on the southern shore of Lake Okeechobee, rooted in the region's sugarcane agriculture. With a few thousand residents, it is a quiet, rural community where life revolves around the lake and the surrounding farmland. Housing is modest single-family homes, and the vibe is slow-paced and agricultural — a world away from the coastal cities 40 miles east.
