A Community Accented by Beaches
Englewood is a quaint, close-knit coastal community stretching north to Sarasota County and south to Charlotte County.
Part of Englewood, Manasota Key is a long and narrow barrier island located off of the mainland. With no high-rise buildings or traffic lights, Manasota Key offers an “Old Florida” experience not found in busier communities. Four public beaches enchant visitors and residents alike with sandy white beaches and an abundance of exotic wildlife, including a wide variety of shorebirds and fish, dolphins, and manatees.
Manasota Key is accessible by a north and south bridge. The south bridge provides quick access to Englewood Beach, Stump Pass State Park and the commercial area of the Key which encompasses our real estate office, great restaurants & bars, beach shops, a boat & bike rental shop, and a convenience store.
The north bridge to Manasota Key provides easy access to Manasota & Blind Pass public beaches, and the quieter residential section of the Key.
Whether you are seeking adventures on the water, collecting fossilized shark teeth, or just enjoying a quiet day soaking up the sun—our beaches have something for everyone. It’s easy to see why this area is called the “Gem of the Suncoast.”
