Manasota Key

The southernmost island in Sarasota County, quaint Manasota Key has no high rise buildings or traffic lights. It is accessible by two bridges, one in Sarasota County and one in Charlotte County. A two-lane, canopied road runs the length of the key with properties on both sides, many of them spanning both the bay front and gulf-front. Pristine beaches include a state park and wildlife sanctuary on the far south end of the key.
