The Seafarer Beach Resort is a family owned and operated beachfront resort located in Englewood, Florida.

A preferred adult community, the Seafarer facility spans the width of the long, narrow barrier island

of Manasota Key, offering both bay and beach access.

The peace and tranquility of life on Manasota Key can be a welcome respite from everyday responsibilities,

as well as from the more well-known and, therefore, more crowded vacation destinations.

Manasota Key is Southwest Florida's best kept secret.

There are no high-rises, no crowds, no condos, and no traffic lights, just a two-lane road and pristine beaches.

As one of only two small resorts among the private homes and

lush tropical foliage of northern Manasota Key, the Seafarer offers its guests

remote, uncrowded beaches while being only minutes away from

the restaurants, stores, and conveniences of Venice and Englewood.

Manasota Key is a perfect retreat for those who want to get away from it all without the hassle of actually being away from it all.

Englewood is known as a place "unspoiled by high rises and high prices."

The white sand beach - full of shells, the famous prehistoric shark teeth,

and an abundance of wildlife - stretches for miles.

From May to October, loggerhead sea turtles can be seen returning to

the shores of Manasota Key to lay their eggs, and the manatees crowd

Lemon Bay in the winter and spring.  Blue herons, egrets, and

tortoises are regular and welcome visitors to our grounds.

Adjacent to Seafarer's own private beach are the 14 acres of beach and

sand dunes of Manasota Beach Park, which offers a variety of amenities,

including year-round life guards, sheltered picnic areas, and barbeque pits.
