Blind Pass Beach, also known as Middle Beach, is a real local secret and absolutely worth a visit. The natural beach is situated between Manasota Beach and Englewood Beach and offers almost 3000 feet of beautiful sandy coastline with lots of shells, the water is clear and emerald tinted. With some luck, you will find a sand dollar or a few of the famous fossil shark teeth.
Across the street on the bay side, a nice little nature trail is meandering through the mangrove forest.
There are clean restrooms with outside showers, a pavilion, picnic tables, a playground, boat ramps and a canoe launch. As with each Park in Sarasota County, parking is free! There is lots of space for parking.
Blind Pass Park is only a short 15 minutes drive away from our Villa Happy Gator 1 in Venice – from Villa Happy Gator 2 in Englewood, it would be around 20 minutes.
