Can scoop up sharks teeth. Plenty of parking. Restrooms and showers available. Water is so blue and pretty. We saw a small manatee and dolphins.

Easy access with free parking just across the street. Not crowded. Clean. Kids had fun in some decent sized waves, and we found several shark tooth fossils. Would highly recommend for those looking for a beach off the beaten path.

Very beautiful and clean beach , kinda secluded but also easy to find. Includes convenient clean restroom facilities As seen in the posted photos , enjoyable sunsets.

Awesome beach, entry area plugged up with a bazillion people but you can walk 3-400' in either direction to seemingly endless open beach areas. Parking kinda sucks, you can tell no one had any thought to optimizing the parking areas which ends up with creative and unique parking happening. Overall thought great location.

Why did they have to change the name?

K Evans | May 12, 2018
myles hefty | May 13, 2018

I don't know why or if they have ever changed the name of the beach. I do know that it is also called middle beach, because Stump Pass Beach State Park is 3 miles south and Manasota beach approximately 3 miles to the north.

Joann Kelley | Feb 10, 2022
Sara Petunia | Feb 11, 2022

If you mean Johnny Leverocks, no. They're located in Placida on the bay. This beach is on the Gulf side of Manasota Key. If you're looking for beach and food, I recommend Sandbar restaurant right across the street from Englewood Beach- its on the same key but closer to civilization

What are are my chances of finding a a sharks tooth?

Jose Rivera | May 11, 2021
Natalie Elliot | May 12, 2021

Pretty slim but not impossible. Typically on the gulf beaches you can find the really small black ones if you walk frequently and very early, before the crowds come. For the large shark teeth try snorkeling Venice pier if you're experienced, or better yet take a guided shark tooth hunting trip up the Peace River (Charlotte Harbor) when the tide is out and there's not been much rain for several days. Bring bug spray!

Is this beach dog friendly?

Ashley Hamm | May 11, 2020
Daryl Krajcer | May 12, 2020

Officially, no dogs are allowed but I've seen responsible dog owners on the beach keeping their dogs away from humans and there were no problems.

Is the beach just south of blind pass, or middle beach, public or do the residents have a private section deeded to them? Know where I can find the ordinances? Still trying, but thought maybe someone knew quicker than I could find it. TIA.

Russell Houchin | May 12, 2020

Blind pass beach is a public beach and it has free parking. It is possibly the only public beach on that key.

No rentals. If you are passing by a CVS or Walgreens, most have beach supplies. Honestly, unless you just want to veg, you wont need them once you start collecting shells and sharks teeth up and down the beach. 😀
