Welcome to Shorebirds Beach Cottages on beautiful Manasota Key, where a shell strewn beach and the gorgeous turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico await! An easy three minute walk from your cottage and your toes are in the sand! Enjoy a tranquil morning as the sun rises and the shorebirds take flight. While away your day lounging in a beach chair or collecting shells and fossilized shark’s teeth. In the evening, take a stroll to awe at the reds, oranges and pinks of the most dramatic sunsets you’ll ever see, found only on this side of the gulf. Hop on one of our bicycles or take a leisurely 10 minute walk to explore another part of the beach too….the pristine, secluded beach of Stump Pass State Park, just 3/10ths of a mile away from your cottage. Paddle around Lemon Bay in a kayak, spend the day fishing or hiking the park’s trails or just soak in the sun on this undeveloped beach, known for bird and turtle nesting. For a real treat, keep an eye out for dolphins, manatees and other wildlife while you’re there! Get ready to enjoy the hidden gems of Manasota Key, all from the comforts of a Shorebirds Beach Cottage!
