Stump Pass Beach
On Beautiful Manasota Key

"A Taste of Old Florida"

Stump Pass Beach is on the southern end of Manasota Key. It has limited free parking and is a great place to get a feel of what Florida was like many years ago. It's not crowded, has no lifeguards, but you can walk the beach from the Gulf of Mexico to the Bay and witness some of the most spectacular sunsets.

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.
