Manasota Key Beach is known as "The shark tooth beach." There’s a huge parking lot and it’s free parking- also a nice building with bathrooms, gazebos to sit out at and showers to rinse off. If you do want to find shark teeth you can certainly find them just with your hands searching through shells and sand. Unique and beautiful!
