BEACHES �� MANASOTA BEACH PARK 8570 Manasota Key Road 941-861-5000 www.scgov.net/Beaches The furthest north of the public beaches in Englewood, this 21-acre park offers access to the beach and the bay. A cement boat ramp as well as a dock on the Intracoastal Waterway side of the park makes this an ideal spot for all kinds of boaters. Shelter space is limited so it’s a good idea to reserve in advance. You’ll find a new restroom facility with improved ADA access, a family restroom, paved walkways, a ramped dune walkover, beach showers, seating, updated pavilions and picnic areas, more parking and a new pedestrian boardwalk and docks. Insider Tip: Pack a lunch to enjoy at one of the picnic pavilions, as this beach is far removed from any restaurants or shops. PHOTO BY TOM NEWTON 16 IMAGES
