Sandbar has great island atmosphere, live tropical music, fun Tiki Bar, & pretty good food. It is a bit touristy but really fun atmosphere! Kids are entertained with a variety of sand games in full view of parents dining outdoors nearby or relaxing at Tiki Bar. Free shuttle - just call Sandbar

Beach Road Wine Bar and Bistro is a great place to relax with a cocktail and really good food with a pretty view of the Bay! I think this place is romantic but I have also brought our teens here. Super cute beachy souvenir shop next door. While my husband is ordering - I sneak away for quick shopping which is never a good idea after a couple wines but still fun!

We are beyond fortunate to be only a 5 minute walk to the #1 ranked attraction of Stump Pass State Beach Park - a natural wonderland with hiking trail, long stretch of unspoiled shoreline, thousands of year old sharks teeth which are easy to find, nesting turtles, manatee, dolphins, rare birds, etc. - bring your cameras! Hunting for pre-historic sharks teeth on our beach is a favorite local activity for all ages and it quickly becomes addicting!! Great fishing at end of Stump Pass! Stump Pass entrance has public restrooms & parking lot.

Arts & Culture

My family is crazy about Venice Theater in the neighboring town to Englewood/Manasota Key. Short drive, great performances & reasonable ticket prices! I love to give my parents gift certificates to Venice Theater for the holidays as it is one of their favorite activities! Great restaurants near the Theater - I'd highly suggest "Made in Italy."

Shopping

While Manasota Key tries very hard to be less commercial & more Island like, neighboring Venice delights shoppers with many unique shops, restaurants, theater & special events along Historic Venice Avenue! You get the best of both worlds with these 2 different style beach towns being neighbors & I fully cover both towns in my "Guest Guide" suggestions!

Essentials

Publix is my favorite grocery store and only about a 6 minute drive away. There is also 3 popular restaurants, watersports rentals, a convenience store & a cute souvenir shop only about 10 minute walk down our beach. We have a free laundry room on-site at blue starfish beach resort with new front loader Samsung washer & dryers plus board games & book library in laundry room.

This is a very popular diner with the locals - not much atmosphere but friendly with great prices! Good option for breakfast lunch or dinner and you can also pick up from there. Best to go a little bit off hours because it can get busy especially in prime season.
