PEACE.... Absolutely one of the best beaches I've been to. Not only is it beautiful but it's so uncongested and clean. There are a lot of sea shells but very little seaweed. The sunset is absolutely breathtaking! read more

Nice large beach. Paid parking can be a problem if you arrive late morning. Lots of broken sea shells that can be painful on your feet, so wearing beach shoes would probably be best. We brought water and snacks to enjoy since there are no concessions around. Overall, we had a nice time and would definitely return while staying in the area. 4 Stars! read more

A beautiful deep beach with a parking lot attached. You have to pay for parking here using the app; prices were very reasonable. The walk from the parking lot is very short. The beach water was nice and clear with no sign of seaweed. Although in early March the water temp was far too cold for me, only 69°. read more

Wonderful beach to visit close to Englewood and West Rotonda. A good amount of parking, nice bathroom facilites, and even a playground shaped like a pirate ship, this place is the perfect way to spend an afternoon at the beach. A fair amount of bars, shops, and cafes are located just across the street so you can easily make this place a day trip for the whole family. The beach itself is pretty flat with gobs of white sand and a flat, smooth sandy bottom which is perfect for swimming and walking. This beach is also a good place to look for seashells, especially Florida Conchs. The fishing off the beach is also pretty lively. I was lucky enough to catch a Bonnethead shark! read more

My husband and I recently visited Englewood beach. We are thoroughly impressed! Weather was great, water was blue, sun was shining. What more could we ask for? For the water to be warm.. ahah! But FL had a chilly winter! We were there on a Saturday so they were a little busy and it was the first nice day the area had seen in awhile so everyone was out, I would love to go back on a week day! We loved how quiet and restful this beach was, not overly crowded/packed as you would expect somewhere else would! Thank you Englewood for an awesome vacation! read more

We simply loved this beach! We did not go by the busier main beach! We went to the beach closer to the vacation homes. It was stunning, chill, and relaxing! We met a nice lady who had been staying there, and since she is a dog lover, she saw we were too, and let us use her drive way to park. If you are not staying on Englewood Beach, beside the main parking, it is hard to find parking! This beach is heavenly in more ways than one. There's not many shops in this area, and there are some bar and grills around. It is nice simple relaxation here! read more

We arrived on a Saturday and the ocean was crystal blue. Three hours later the red tide hit the beaches in this area. Horrible smell and dead fish was terrible for our entire 4 day stay. How sad to see this beautiful beach look and smell like dumpter. This is NOT acceptable. What is the Governor doing about this! Our beaches are suffering and so will be its economy. read more

On a hot day in the Christmas season this beach was MOBBED with people. It's a good place to hunt for shells and was generally clean. Someone's chair and table were set up advertising rentals for assorted beach equipment, with a phone number to call...huh? (the booth was currently unmanned.) How long are you gonna wait? When in doubt, bring your own gear. There is a fee for parking but the machine you're supposed to pay had a tarp over it so....*whistles* Your feet will get a good exfoliating from the shells and scrubby grey sand. It's still a nice place to walk, pick shells and look at the waves (or swim if the weather permits). Enjoy! read more

Love it so nice sand good not to rough the waters beautiful good beach to go to when you don't want to much traffic

Absolutely beautiful! Might I add very peaceful as well. I would definitely recommend this quiet area to anyone. The beach is loaded with pretty seashells. I will definitely be back to Englewood beach! read more

Englewood Beach - Beaches Near Me - Englewood, Florida

It's a really nice beach Walkway,bathrooms, places to eat across the street. No lifeguards! With children that could be a problem. It's great for walking & swimming. Sharks teeth still there Yaaaay. Haven't over refurbished as in Venice which is dirt not sand. Shame. Easy to get from car to beach which is a plus for me. I don't understand the parking I paid for an hour then decided to get another hour. It gave me 2 more minutes ⁉It's got a remote code for the park mobile app but you can't extend it using it. Makes no sense to me. Glad I got back to my car in time. Paid for 2 hours got 1 & 2 minutes. Could something make sense please read more

Visiting my boyfriends parents in Port Charlotte we had a little extra time and wanted to see what the area had to offer in terms of beaches. I really like the beach vibe on the west coast of Florida, as it's generally a little more laid back than what I am used to in the Fort Lauderdale area. The crowds are either leaning towards the senior citizen side, or families...less of a spring break feel, which is fine with me. This particular day was a little bit cloudy and threatening rain, but knowing the Florida sun, even if there is cloud cover you can still get some color. We arrived at the beach around 11:30 and found parking was pretty easy. This may have been because we were there before noon, but probably had more to do with the fact that the weather was a little bit iffy. We parked and noticed the pay stations, where you enter your space number. The spaces here aren't as clearly marked as one might hope when you need to be able to read the number to enter into the meter, but through math and process of elimination we were able to determine we were in space 297, the the number was pretty worn. The pay station takes cards and cash, but it took me a little while to figure it out, and I'm pretty sure they don't take Discover, as that card gave me problems, but Visa went through on the first try. We headed down a wooden beach access pathway to the sand. The beach here is beautiful. It isn't pristine and combed, but has lots of shells. Even though I'm almost thirty I still think it's fun to look for the perfect shells on the beach. When they comb, or when there are a ton of people, you just don't seem to find many shells. We set up our towels and chairs and people watched for a little while. There were quite a few people treasure hunting with metal detectors and sifting baskets...I hope that's just a hobby and not a relied upon source of income, but it looked kind of fun. The water here was gorgeous. This particular day it was very calm, clear, and had that aqua color than almost looked Carribean. This is a really great spot to relax, and there are a few bars and restaurants in the area if you want to make more of a day out of the trip...I'm excited to get back toe Englewood and spend more time. read more

Nice beach, decent shelling, chairs and umbrellas for rent. If you're looking for an even better beach experience with soft sand and prettier views) , check out Siesta Key or Sanibel. But this location is great if it's near where you're staying or you just want a nice walk near the water. Showers available as well as toilet facilities. Nice boardwalk. Overall clean. Paid parking .75/hour. **Note- In season the lot fills fast (November to April). Restaurants and other nice amenities nearby. read more

Englewood beach is NOT a dog-friendly beach. I typed in "dog-friendly beaches" and this was one of the ones listed. I know this for a fact because I live in Englewood year round and I have seen people kicked off the beach with their dogs. There are also "no dogs allowed on beach" signs at every entrance of Englewood beach. I would hate to see someone who isn't from the area bring their dog(s) to Englewood beach and get fined or be told they have to leave. However, when I don't have my dogs with me, this is my favorite beach to go to because they have a bathroom, and there is also a convenience store right across the street if you need a cold drink. It also helps that it's only 5 minutes from my house. It does get a bit crowded and sometimes you have to circle the parking lot a few times before you find a spot but it's worth it. They also rent umbrellas and chairs right on the beach and a guy on a 4-wheeler will bring them right to your spot and put umbrella up for you, which is so convenient for those of us who don't feel like buying all that stuff and then packing it all in your car every time you go to the beach. read more

Located directly across from the Circle K, you will find Plenty of parking for a small fee (now has Mobile Now app). Several great restaurants also on the same side of Beach rd and the CircleK This beach has a large bathhouse with toilets, change areas and showers. And a boardwalk that can get you there from either end of the beach. There are picnic grounds, BBQ grills and basketball courts. Often there is beach chair rentals, but not guaranteed. This is a good beach for shelling and shark teeth hunting. It is not the powdery sand of Siesta Key beach. In the evening there is often some great bands at the nearby restaurant/bars. Sprint and AT&T coverage is weak but there. read more

This beach is awesome. I went down to watch the sunset go down and it was so pretty. This beach is very good for building sand castles because the sand is so soft. Englewood Beach is very pretty at night to watch the Sun go down. I went down to Florida during February vacation because I heard the beaches down here are awesome. I come from the far away state, Maine. 1 thing: THE RED TIDE!! It was really bad and I was laughing so hard because I couldn't hear the sun sizzling because of the whole beach coughing. Lol. That was funny, just saying! -Peace out- Summer read more

Ended up here after we couldn't find a parking spot at our intended beach. Beach was nice. Happened to be a pretty windy day in which I kind of like. Makes it seem less hot and humid on a 90 degree day. Beach was not too crowded but it did need a god cleanup/sweeping. A lot of dead sea grass laying around. You would think with the parking fee monies they would do a little clean up. Parking cost was minimal like 1pm to 715 cost was $5.00. Parking lot was only short walk from beach. Main building had restrooms also. read more

Great clean beach with no admission charge. Close parking at 25c / 20 minutes. Bathrooms and changing rooms old

Awesome beach! The sand is really hot due to the sun. The water is blue and where it isn't, you can see through it. It is clear, but as you would probably expect, it gets darker the further you get in. It's great for finding shells and shark teeth. It's overall very nice with a lot of shops and things to do around it. read more

Great place. Blue water, white sands and ample parking. These traits plus so many amenities in the area make this a 5 star stop.

The beach was amazing today. Hot water, not too much people and beautifull weathers. A peace place for the beachlovers

Beaches full of dead fish and stink. The beaches in sw florida have been littered with dead wildlife since at least late June. My last visit Aug 13 showed no change and officials expect this to continue through and into 2019. This is Red Tide and if you have respiratory problems stay away, the health problems are real and you will cough, sneeze, and can end up in ER room. Believe it when they say Red Tide is in SW Florida from Ft. Myers to south Tampa, it is awful. Stay away, goes to the East coast where water doesn't smell and dead fish don't litter beach read more
