Manasota Key is best known for having little-known beaches. Our Beachcomber of Manasota Key properties are all within easy walking distance to the beach less than 2 or 3 minutes.
We have direct beach access through public right-of-ways, as well as deeded beach access from our properties. Or grab one of our bikes and pedal your way to the beach! There is something for everyone. Whether you are a couple, friends, or you need family-friendly rentals , we have what you nee for a successful getaway.
Surrounding Communities - how far are they and what can I see there? Manasota Key is a community of Charlotte County Florida. Less than 10 minutes away across the Tom Adams Bridge, you will find Englewood , a typical old Florida town nestled along the shores of Lemon Bay. Located further north are larger cities that are still close to Manasota Key.
Venice is about 30 minutes north by car and Sarasota is about an hour north by car. Petersburg and Tampa are about 1. Florida Wildlife - what will I see and where are the best spots to observe? We donate a percentage of our campaign fee to those local businesses and organizations that support community, the environment, and humanitarian causes.
On this South Florida road trip, we supported The Fish and Wildlife Foundation of Florida for their Florida conservation efforts and the Hobe Sound Mural project for their work supporting local artists and bringing community together. We were staying in the Englewood Beach area of the Key, which is the most popular part of the island. Englewood Florida is split into Englewood Beach on the key, and then Englewood, the main small town just over the bridge on the mainland.
Staying in a vacation rental gives you the freedom to be more self-sufficient and so never leave the island. And if you want to go to lunch, dinner or happy hour drinks, there are a few bars and restaurants on Manasota Island.
One sign of how undiscovered this island is, we did not have to wait for a table at any of the Manasota Key restaurants. Despite them being in prime locations on the water, and seemingly busy, we walked right into a table each time. It was a short 2-minute walk across the road to the beach access and enjoyed the relaxed pace of the island, and our spacious beach bungalow with plenty of amenities and fully equipped kitchen. It gave us an opportunity to do our school and blog work before exploring during the day.
Despite having windy and wet conditions, we were able to see a lot of the Manasota and Englewood, Fl area and have a wonderful time. Unlike our previous adventurous destinations on this South Central Florida road trip , Martin County and Sebring , this allowed us to have a more restful connected family beach vacation. On Manasota Key, days are planned around sunrise if you want to get up early , beach time, happy hour, and sunset. All that is required is flip flops, sunscreen, and a wide friendly grin.
Let the photos and soon to come videos — Reel already on Instagram tell the story. The trail ends at Stump Pass, the end of the island where the Gulf meets the bay. You will be wowed by the view. As soon as we got to where the white sand met that beautiful water, two dolphins rose out of the water, right near the edge of the shore.
Two lucky ladies were paddle boarding and were able to get close watching them play. Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms can bring heavy downpours, especially in late summer and fall.
