Beach Getaway

If you're one of the many travelers looking to visit Florida with a trip (or five) to the beach in mind, come to Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach to find plenty of spots to enjoy your own brand of sandy serenity

Our Beaches

Early morning on Englewood BeachYou'll find a treasure trove of portable souvenirs: fossilized shark teeth and seashells of all sizes, shapes, and colors can be found on the beaches of Manasota Key: Englewood Beach, Stump Pass Beach State Park, and Blind Pass Beach, as well as on Don Pedro Island and Little Gasparilla Island.

Something fun: on Stump Pass Beach, the driftwood looks almost sculptural, and it's said that if you place a shell (find one with a hole) on the branch of a stump and make a wish, it will come true. Let us know if yours does!

Island Time

View of sea grass, sand, sea, and sky at sunset on Knight IslandKnight Island is just a stone’s throw from the mainland but feels a world apart. Set on a dazzling, broad expanse of beach, the island offers both private home and condo rentals, so you must be staying on the island to have access to the beach. Palm Island Resort, at the northern tip of the island, offers activities for children and adults.

Those longing for a Zen-like experience will enjoy a paddling trip from the landside of Don Pedro Island State Park (the actual Park on Don Pedro Island is currently closed).

Little Gasparilla Island, where golf carts rule the road and which is also only accessible by boat, is just the place for serenity. It's also a shell collector’s dream. The white sand beaches are never crowded and lead to blue-green waters where you will often see dolphins frolic.

For a nice treat, get away to one of our beautiful beaches.
