Manasota Key Beach might be one of the least crowded beaches in Sarasota County, thus giving a visitor the chance to imagine that the whole gorgeous beach is merely their own private beach for a time.
Visitors come to this secluded beach on the southernmost end of Manasota Key to enjoy the year-round swimming, shelling, and fishing, as well as the 1.3-mile hiking trail. Visitors may see manatees, gopher tortoises, snowy egrets, least terns, and magnificent frigate birds.
