Manasota Key is a relatively unspoiled slice of Florida paradise, stretching for about ten miles between pristine Lemon Bay and the sandy Gulf of Mexico beaches. Tourists enjoy four public beaches, several fine restaurants and watering holes, and a laid back lifestyle that begs you to slow down. Residents can choose from the quaint fishing village atmosphere of the southern Charlotte County side, or find a bit more seclusion by surrounding themselves with nature on the larger estate properties in Sarasota County.
The island serves as a hub to one of the country’s best sports fishing areas. Anglers can pursue tarpon, snook, and grouper, while nature lovers can find dolphin and manatees in local waters and prehistoric sharks teeth in the beach sand. From waverunners to backyard hammocks, Manasota Key offers the best of tropical Florida living.
