I have been to every beach up & down the Sarasota-Charlotte County coastal border. I am pretty familiar with each beach & it's particular characteristics. If it is shells I'm in the mood for then I head to the North Jetty in Nokomis. If sharks teeth are the beachcomber du jour then it's Blind Pass in Englewood. If it's both then I'm off to Stump Pass. Blind Pass & Manasota Beach have free parking. If you are at Stump Pass for sunset you can't linger. The ranger nicely tells you the park is closed and steers you off the beach. What I have never attempted is to walk the beach from ding to dong. My beach buddy for the day was my friend Lil Shorty. We started out at Englewood Beach and walked north 3 miles to Blind Pass. We thought it would take us a few hours but it actually took us almost 5. Right out of the chute we found a super good patch of sharks teeth and hung out there for a while.
