Manatee Public Beach

This beach is a must see beach on the list! There are so many facilities such as charging stations, drinking fountains, restrooms, and even food and drink options. The beach is very well maintained and is very clean. The color of the water is absolutely stunning with its Caribbean blue colors and white sand without the irritation of seaweed. I would recommend parking at Manatee Beach area if you want to go to Anna Maria Public beach or Holmes beach because you can just walk down the beach to see the other beaches!

Very nice white sand beach, lots of shells and it's not too bad during weekday. There are picnic tables, BBQ pits, changing rooms, shower and bathrooms. Life guards are on duty. Clean beach love it here! Oh and we seen 3 dolphins ????

Hours sunrise to 10p. Restrooms, showers, lifeguards, changing stations and a tiki bar. Soft white groomed sand. Free parking. Chair and umbrella rentals. All you can eat pancakes at the AMI cafe. Less people towards the north end. Just a one star drop because of the sea lice. I found out later that Southwest Florida is a hot spot for it. Just remember to shower/rinse off thoroughly before and after going in the water. I just let the wave hit my lower legs and still got it due to inadequate rinsing.
