Englewood Beach is the most popular beach in Englewood—a sandy stretch with calm surf, pavilions, and volleyball/basketball courts across the street from local restaurants and bars. From the boardwalk, families gather in the shade of striped umbrellas and play Frisbee on the sand. The rolling blue-and-green Gulf of Mexico is dotted with sailboats and bright parasails.
