Manasota Key

Manasota Key is one of Florida’s best kept secrets. It offers superb shelling, swimming, and beautiful sunsets in glorious “Old Style Florida” fashion.

Manasota Key is a classic narrow barrier island nestled along Florida’s west coast. With the Gulf Of Mexico along the west and peaceful Lemon Bay along the east, this is a place for water lovers, with water never more than a short walk away.

Manasota Key is home to some of the most exclusive homes around. There are no high-rises or traffic lights- just a two-lane road and pristine beaches. The northern and central part of the island, located in Sarasota County, is completely residential. Private homes sit on one-acre lots, tucked behind lush tropical foliage. Many of the homes have their back yard on the bay and their front yard on the Gulf. The southern part of the island is in Charlotte County and has more development. There are low-rise multi-family condos and old fashioned beach cottages on the south end. The southern tip of Manasota Key is occupied by Stump Pass Beach State Park.
