Englewood Public Beach

Love this beach! The boarded walk is amazing can go most the beach and see it all. Especially great for people who can't walk or be rolled on the sands. The beach is always clean, bathrooms are handy and well placed right in the middle. Amazing beach!

Always packed at sunset. If your goal is to see the sunset, then get there about an hour before the scheduled sunset. Sometimes you can still get there only 15 minutes til and find parking, but not a guarantee. I stayed for 2 weeks at the beginning and of the new year. I found parking about 60% of the time.

Great beach and wonderful facilities should you need them. Easy access to the beach and food across the street. Pay to park at this location. Great place for family outings with parks for kids to play.

Gorgeous beach to take your family for a day full of fun in the sun. The Gulf of Mexico is usually calm and extremely warm in the summer months. It gets a little on the cool side during the winter. The sand is nice and soft on your feet but do yourself a favor and wear shoes as it gets extremely hot during the summertime. You can almost always find sharks teeth and of course shells and maybe some sea glass down by the shore. There are clean bathrooms for the most part with a large dressing area with showers inside the building as well as several outdoor showers along the boardwalk. It's not an overly large boardwalk but has two big covered spots to stop and sit at. There are several covered Pavillions with grills and three larger ones, for large parties, that can be rented for the day. There are two volleyball nets. One is located on the beach itself, the other is by the tables. There is a basketball court and horseshoe pit area. A nice new playground and a seperate swing set as well. There is a drum circle on Sunday evenings (starts about an hour before sunset) and yoga classes on the beach as well (sorry don't recall when). There is no concessions stand on the permisses but a convenient store and beach/souvenirs store right across the street. There are also several great restaurants all located within walking distance. You have to pay to park (you can download an app at the beach) but unfortunately it isn't enforced like it should be. If so maybe more people would carpool as well as not illegally park. In season it is very hard to find a parking space even with the additional parking area behind the White Elephant restaurant. Make sure you apply sunscreen several times throughout the day as the sun in Florida is very strong.
