Englewood is a mellow beach break on florida - west coast, nestled along the Gulf of Mexico near Manasota Key, where the shoreline faces ESE and picks up wind-driven chop and rare groundswells that funnel through the Gulf. Waves here are typically small and soft, making it an ideal spot for beginners and longboarders looking for a relaxed session with minimal crowds. What makes Englewood unique is its laid-back atmosphere and the occasional bump generated by tropical systems tracking through the Gulf, when the region can surprise surfers with fun, playful surf.
