Englewood Beach is the most popular beach on Manasota Key. Parking costs 25 cents per hour from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. There are no lifeguards, but picnic tables, showers and restrooms are provided. There's no concession stand, but there are many places for food nearby.

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.
