We just love the serene wooded trails to the remote beaches! This is our go-to park for the best natural beach experience in the area! We always find shark teeth and see plenty of wildlife at Stump Pass. It's like having our own private beach.

Beautiful rustic beach with sand dunes, crystal clear waters, sea shells and shark teeth to find. Absolutely beautiful! It's a $3 fee to enter and we'll worth every dollar.

Absolutely beautiful park. There is an entrance fee and the trails are pet friendly but not the beaches. Very busy place and parking is hard to find but definately worth the visit but definately recommend bug spray as the mosquitos carry you away. But great for walking, swimming or shelling.

Beaches are amazing. Gulf coast sunsets are spectacular. Arrive early to get a spot. Once lot is full, you options are limited. Restrooms are available and there is a nice nature trail that allows you to access both the beach and Lemon Bay. Parking is only $3 per carload..

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Can I purchase a national park pass at stump pass State park?

Freddy Dill | Sep 3, 2022
Amy Stanley | Sep 4, 2022

They don't have an office where you can purchase a pass. I recommend you go to another local state park. Try Ocar Scherer state park in Sarasota, they have an office close to the entrances. If you're a disabled Veteran you get a free lifetime pass.

Matthew Nolty | Sep 8, 2020

As I recall, they were allowed on the trails but not the beach. However the best part of the park is the beach, so this wouldn't be a great place to take the furry ones.

Are there sharks?

Anaya Reyes | Jun 10, 2022
Chris Carr | Jun 10, 2022

There will be sharks in proximity of any big body of salt water near Florida. They tend to be more active at Dusk and Dawn so avoid those swimming times. Also remove any shiny jewelry or object you maybe wearing is this can attract sharks. Stay in groups and this helps avoid the shark thinking of you as mistaken prey

Does this beach have shade where you can go like a tree or to rent an umbrella or something.

Ileana Malave | Sep 8, 2021
James Bruckshaw | Sep 8, 2021

No umbrella rentals for the beach, walking trails off the beach have the shade. Best to bring your own shading if spending any significant time on the beach because cloudless days result in full sun all day...

Wendy Yarnell | Sep 9, 2019
Rick Rogoski | Sep 8, 2021

Water is clear if wind is out of the east; water is cloudy if wind is out of the west and moderate waves are breaking on the shore. No tannins or red tide at this time. Hopefully release of water from Lake O will not severely affect this area.

Is this where the sea shell beach is?

Laura Veach | Sep 9, 2018
Brenda Caldwell | Sep 9, 2018

We found a ton of sharks teeth and seashells. The shells are all worn by the surf, not "whole" but still some very cool ones. The sharks teeth are tiny and most of them black as they are fossilized!

Can you paddleboard/kayak from south Englewood to the island? Or is it to far?

Taylor Williams | Sep 9, 2018
Richard Tasker | Sep 9, 2018

First, Stump Pass isn't an island. And only you can answer that question anyway. Depending on where in Englewood you start it is approximately 2-3 miles one way to Stump Pass. If you are an experienced user that is easy. If your goal.is to do some kayaking, that is doable. If your goal is to get to Stump Pass you can drive to Stump Pass beach State Park and put your kayak in there. From there it is 1.3 miles to the actual pass.
