Manatee Public Beach

HomeArea GuideBeachesManatee Public Beach

White sand. Blue waters. A perfect ocean breeze that’s not too hot, not too cold, but just right. This is exactly the vacation you pictured for yourself when you decided on Florida, and we can promise you, Manatee Public Beach will not disappoint when you travel to stay in our amazing rentals.

How to Get Here

Perhaps the most important detail of them all, Manatee Public Beach is located at 4000 State Road 64 and Gulf Drive in Holmes Beach, FL 34217. Official park hours are open from sunrise to 10 p.m., unless otherwise posted or allowed by special permits secured through the city.

There is a large, free parking lot that can accommodate up to 120 vehicles but bear in mind that it fills up quickly. Limited street parking is also available but pay attention to the signage as this area is regularly monitored and enforced by local officials. The most popular way to travel to this popular destination is the Anna Maria Trolley. This safe, convenient, and air-conditioned mode of transportation has a designated stop at Manatee Beach Park, and best of all, it’s free! Or if you’re really feeling adventurous, there are bike racks conveniently located to lock your wheels up in a safe place.

Manatee Beach Park Amenities

In addition to warm white sand and crystal clear blue waters, you’ll find everything you need to make a truly relaxing experience for yourself. Public use restrooms and changing cabanas are strategically placed at the beach so you don’t have to worry about making a purchase at a nearby establishment just to use their facilities. Not only that but when you’re ready to call it a day, showers and foot wash stations are also provided for your personal use.

Trash cans, recycling bins, grills, picnic tables and water fountains are located throughout the Manatee Public Beach, so it’s easy to pick a prime spot and camp out for the day. Pack a frisbee for an easy and fun pastime or bring a volleyball to take advantage of the sand courts. And for the guests looking for a delicious experience or an opportunity to commemorate their trip, visitors love visiting the Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe’ and gift shop.

Best of all, for guests who need wheelchair access, there is a designated wheelchair beach available on a first come, first serve basis.

The Beach Rules

Not only does the beach rule (as in “it’s totally awesome and tubular man”), but there are Manatee Beach Park rules you should be aware of too. To start, furry friends are not allowed on the beach. If you’re traveling with your dog, he will have to sit this adventure out. Glass containers and alcohol are also prohibited. And finally, while visiting our rentals, should you get the desire to explore the surrounding wilderness, please stick to the designated paths so as not to disturb the natural wildlife and botanicals.
