Blind Pass Beach
On Beautiful Manasota Key

"A Taste of Old Florida"

Blind Pass Beach has no lifeguards, but there is free parking with picnic tables, showers and restrooms. This is the most isolated beach on the key. There's also a nature trail with dunes and wildflowers.

The vacation rentals on Manasota Key vary from rental condominiums to apartment efficiencies and motel rooms. The atmosphere is that of old Florida with several good restaurants and souvenir shops on the island and in Englewood. Manasota Key is not as popular as some of the other well-known places in Southwest Florida. That, in itself, makes for a great affordable vacation spot.

 From I-75, take exit #193, go west on Jacaranda Blvd. until it dead ends into SR 776.  Turn Left (south) on State Route 776 to Manasota Beach Rd.  Turn Right (west), go over drawbridge, turn Left (south) on Manasota Key Rd.  Parking for Blind Pass Beach is on the left.
