Discover Manasota Beach
Shark Teeth & Fossils
The Gulf here hides ancient treasures. Find common lemon and tiger shark teeth, ray plates, and fossil bone fragments. Rarely, divers and lucky beachcombers spot parts of megalodon teeth.
Bring a sifter, scan the shell beds, and check after a strong wind shift. Please don’t disturb natural dunes.
BeachcombingSkimboarding
The gentle Gulf slope creates clean skim zones near the waterline. Give others space, wear a leash if needed, and yield to swimmers in the buoyed area.
Active FunSea Turtle Season
Sea turtles nest roughly May to October. Keep lights low at night, never touch or sit on marked nests, and always fill in any holes before you leave so hatchlings and walkers stay safe.
Wildlife RespectKeep the Beach Clean
Pack in, pack out. Remove trash and fill in holes from digging or sand play. Smooth out sandcastles below the tide line. A clean beach protects wildlife and keeps the shoreline beautiful.
