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 Beach 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.

Sea purslane. Not much to look at (yet). But, doing most of the work. 🌱

It's a low, salt-tolerant succulent that grows where almost nothing else will, right at the edge where the beach meets everything else. Its roots hold sand in place. Its mat slows wind. It's one of the first things to come back after a storm, and one of the first things to disappear when a shoreline is left to fend for itself.

We've been putting it back in the ground here, alongside sea oats, railroad vine, and other native plants, in partnership with Pine Island Redfish and Mang Foundation for Peace and Reconciliation

It is slow, careful, unglamorous work. And in twenty years it's the difference between a shoreline and a memory of one. 🌿

So grateful for our partners working hard to preserve our coast, and this historic property.

📣 This just in: There's a tackle shop on the property now! 🎣

Fishers' Outpost is open down by the pool, just to the right of the Game Hen. Rods, tackle, and frozen bait for sale — or rent a pole if you're just here for a stint and don't want to haul your gear with you.

Walk down, pick something out, and see what the shoreline gives you. Some of the best afternoons here start with no plan and a line in the water.

Wake up to the Gulf. Open the door to your deck and the beach is right there. No lobby, no elevator, no waiting. Just waves, warm coffee, and the kind of morning Old Florida was made for. Blue Heron North at Manasota Beach Club. 🌊☀️

Every chapter of Manasota Beach Club's story has been written by people who care deeply about this place.

We're grateful to the Englewood REVIEW for highlighting our ongoing restoration efforts and the incredible partners helping us protect both our historic property and the surrounding coastline.

From native dune restoration and environmental education to regenerative aquaculture and habitat conservation, organizations like Pine Island Redfish, MANG Foundation, and Lemon Bay Conservancy are helping ensure that preservation extends far beyond our property lines.

This is about more than rebuilding. It's about preserving a piece of Old Florida while investing in the future of our coast.

Thank you to everyone who continues to be part of the journey. We hope you'll enjoy the story.

✨ THIS JUST IN! ✨

The best souvenirs tell a story.

Our new Clubhouse Shop celebrates the spirit of Manasota Beach Club with thoughtfully selected gifts, exclusive MBC apparel, and a beautiful collection of handcrafted jewelry by local artisan Driftheory, created exclusively for the Club with natural artifacts sourced directly from the beaches of Manasota Key.

You'll also find everything you need for a carefree day on the beach—from sunscreen and games to hats and other coastal essentials.

Whether you're taking home a memory or simply grabbing one last thing before heading to the sand, we hope you'll stop in and explore!

✨ Back by popular demand!

After a sold-out debut this spring, Linda Soderquist returns with the next installment of The Art of the Shoreline: Artist in Residence Series.

Join us on July 15 for a creative morning inspired by the beauty of Manasota Key. Guests will experiment with watercolor techniques to create a one-of-a-kind coastal backdrop before taking a guided beach walk to collect shells and natural treasures for a handcrafted shadowbox keepsake.

Along the way, Linda will share techniques for painting shells, coastal textures, and even a few sea turtle hatchlings as you bring your piece to life.

No experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and enjoy a relaxed morning of creativity, nature, and connection, followed by w**e and charcuterie.

🎨 July 15 | 9 AM
🎟 Space is limited, and advance registration is required.

Life at Manasota Beach Club is deeply connected to the water.

From the Gulf waves that shape our shoreline to the sea turtles that return to nest each year, the health of our oceans influences so much of what makes this place special.

As we celebrate World Ocean Day (and the beginning of Sea Turtle Week!), we're reminded that protecting our coast isn't just about preserving beautiful places. It's about supporting the ecosystems, wildlife, and natural processes that have sustained them for generations.

Whether it's respecting nesting areas, supporting dune restoration efforts, reducing pollution, or simply taking time to appreciate the natural world around us, every action plays a role.

Here's to healthy oceans, thriving shorelines, and the remarkable creatures that call them home.

Happy World Ocean Day from Manasota Beach Club. Stay tuned for some fun info. 🌊🐚🐢
