Everybody hears the stories about beach erosion in Florida, but nobody reports on what we in the real estate business call beach accretion.  It's a natural process of our beaches and thankfully it's happening on parts of Manasota Key. Manasota Key Beach in December 2014 Manasota Key Beach in March 2015 These two pictures were taken by me in roughly the same location, looking north on Manasota Key.  You can tell from the March photograph that we have gained about 50 feet of beach.

Lots of people are familiar with Longboat Key and Siesta Key, but when I ask potential buyers about Manasota Key, I usually get a "Huh?". Properties on Manasota Key have an Englewood address, with the northern 2/3 of the island in Sarasota County and the southern 1/3 in Charlotte County.  Manasota Key has wide beaches and lots of real estate opportunities for beachfront homes, unlike Siesta Key or Longboat Key that are dominated by condos. Manasota Key Beach just north of Stump Pass Manasota Key literally supports real estate in almost every price range, with efficiency condos starting around $100K to gulf to bay homes over $3 million.
