Diana’s guidebook to Manasota Key
Fine dining and great cocktails!
Lock and Key is by far one of the best places for great food and a fun atmosphere at ANY time of the day! This is a family owned business, with a staff that takes pride in their work. From the wait staff to the amazing chefs as well as the bartenders, this place is absolutely the one you won't want to miss!
They have a variety of food from sea food to prime rib but not so busy that you will get lost in their menu either.
They have "happy hour" every day from 11a.m. to 6 p.m., you pull tabs and you can get either 50% off or even a freebie if you're lucky :)!
One thing is for sure, you will enjoy the atmosphere either way.

Great place to bring ALL the family or have a night out with friends!
Sand Bar is great in two ways, if you have a family with children you get to enjoy being in a beach scene outdoor restaurant, but your kiddos, or you and your kiddos, or you adults that want to play like kiddos can play a variety of outdoor games they have set up as well as the different sitting areas to accommodate the size of your family and whether you prefer to be cool in the inside dining area, feel a bit of a breeze and fresh air on their outdoor patio, go all out and have the outdoor sitting all together.
This is another great family owned, and family managed restaurant and they take pride in making your visit the best possible.
This is always a busy, fun place!
If you come with adults only, make sure to check out their event calendar for their nightly music, you will be surprised all the good bands you get to hear and get your dance on!!!

Near by parks
This is a beautiful park and best part is walking distance from Turtle's Nest Retreat. You are required to pay for entrance but the $3/person you will be paying goes back to the maintenance of the park and believe me they do take care of both the fauna and flora at this park so it is worth it!
It offers not only a gorgeous view of the Gulf of Mexico and a nature trail, it is the perfect spot to collect Sea shells of all kinds and shark teeth!
If you go there during the evening hours, you may be able to see dolphins and or manatees in this area (it is quite a site if you are able to see them!) Do have in hand mosquito repellent, we have here in Florida what we call "no see ums" (also known as Gnats or Sand flies) and can be quite annoying if you are not prepared.
