Beach

Manasota Key Beach is virtually deserted most of the time. It is famous for a wide variety of shells and if you look carefully, fossilised shark's teeth. Facilities include changing rooms, toilets, covered barbeque area and extensive free parking. A lifeguard ensures safe swimming within a prescribed area.

One of the most enjoyable ways to end the day is to stroll along the beach and watch the spectacular sunsets.
Shops, supermarkets and restaurants are only a five minute drive away at Venice shopping village. WalMart and Publix supermarkets are complimented by large Target and Bells department stores and a wide range of smaller shops. There are several family restaurants including Chillis and Outback Steakhouse.

The historic town of Venice with its range of individual shops is only a few miles away. It also has a theatre, and the marina and fishing jetties are a source of busy boating activities and a likely place to see dolphins.
Charming waterside restaurants such as Sharky's and Pop's are places to enjoy the local atmosphere.
