Five minutes from Venice yet a world away, secluded Manasota Key is as
far from the hustle and bustle as it gets. A quiet winding road leads
past one- and two-story homes that make palm trees seem like skyscrapers
in comparison. Blind Pass Beach is one of the Sarasota Area's most secluded
and adds a tranquil setting for the Hermitage Artist Retreat. A little
further south, Manasota Key angles away from the mainland as the Intracoastal
Waterway opens into North Lemon Bay. Here, manatees munch on unspoiled
beds of sea grass, and dolphins play among mangrove islands home to rookeries
for pelicans, cranes, and snowy egrets.
