Our purpose at the Manasota Beach Club is to preserve the natural environment of Old Florida. Three generations of the Buffum family have been dedicated to maintaining the beauty of one of the last pieces of Southwest Florida's Gulf front habitat, which is home to a historic clubhouse and cottages as well as native birds, gopher tortoises and a dedicated year round staff. Here at the Manasota Beac

h Club we offer lodging year round as well as Club Memberships. We are an American Plan Resort with a dining room and an incredible kitchen staff that is open from November through April. The rest of the year we offer cottages with a discounted summer rate. Club Members are given access to many amenities around the club, depending on their type of membership. Members can participate in several sports including tennis and water aerobics or even reserve a table in our dining room.

Honored to see Manasota Beach Club featured by Fodor's Travel in their recent spotlight on Florida beaches locals love most.

For generations, this special stretch of Old Florida has offered something increasingly rare: a quiet place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the coast the way it used to be.

As a family-owned club listed on the National Register of Historic Places, preservation has always been at the heart of who we are. We’re grateful to everyone who continues to support this little piece of paradise and the legacy behind it.

We appreciate being recognized for the charm, history, and spirit of this unique paradise.

We are pleased to continue our season of coastal workshops this May, offering new ways to connect with nature, creativity, and community here on Manasota Key.

On May 8, the Driftheory Coastal Experience returns with a special theme, Celebrate Mom for a Lifetime in Resin. Guests will begin with a guided beach walk, gathering coastal treasures before creating a custom resin jewelry piece inspired by the shoreline.

Then on May 28, we welcome award-winning artist Linda Soderquist for Watercolor Techniques: Painting the Beach. The workshop includes a beach walk and live demonstration, followed by time to create your own note cards, bookmarks, or wine tags using watercolor techniques inspired by shells and sea turtle hatchlings.

Each experience is designed to bring people together in a relaxed, creative setting along the water.

Many events are open to the public, and space is limited.

Happy Day! Did you know that the non-profit Gopher Tortoise Council adopted April 10th as “Gopher Tortoise Day” to raise awareness about this keystone species?

These kiddos spent some time today observing one of our MBC gopher tortoises!

Our gopher tortoise population had a rough go of it after the hurricanes, but we are happy to report that we have 4 gopher tortoise residents on the MBC property and 5 burrows. These gopher tortoise burrows are particularly important because they can support more than 350 other species. One of the many reasons we love these amazing creatures!

In honor of Gopher Tortoise Day and also our commitment to rebuilding our beach dune ecosystem, we planted over 160 sea oats and 28 railroad vines!

Thanks to Dan + Rick from our team for their hard work! What rockstars!

Let us know in the comments if you'd be interested in volunteering and/or getting together for a conversation about how to plant and support more native plants on our beaches/coastal properties!

Such fun ahead at the Club! Sign up today and experience the connection of art and nature in a space that will leave you...
