Our First Beach Trip in 2019 is Monday February 25th
Nokomis Beach Casey Key & Dinner at University Town Center Mall
In late 2016 a new addition was launched at Nokomis Beach: a concessions stand! Offering moderately priced breakfast, lunch and refreshments you'll find menu items from tasty Bagels to Breakfast Sandwiches & Breakfast Burritos to lunchtime sandwich favorites like Smoked Pulled Pork or Brisket to Beer Brats and Burgers, Bang Bang Shrimp, Chicken Tenders and more along with sodas, water, juice boxes and cold beer and wine. Cash, credit and Apple Pay accepted. Open Mon - Tues 9 a.m. - 3 p.m., Wed - Fri 9 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Sat - Sun 8 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Located at the Beach House on the boardwalk adjacent to Nokomis Beach
It’s a quiet, laid back, residential beach retreat with lots of room to roam or stretch out.
It's also a great beach on which to hunt for sea shells. For some reason, this seems to be the best beach in the area for sea shells. Nokomis beach is also a great beach on which to take a long walk, sunbathe, picnic, or just enjoy a beautiful day on this family-friendly beach, enjoying the sights and sounds of nature and wildlife. Whether it's watching the majestic, prehistoric looking Pelicans dive from the sky into the water for a fresh fish snack, or catching sight of a bottle nosed dolphin taking a leisurely swim past the beach, or chasing the sea gulls around in the sand, you’ll love the wild life all around you on this, one of the Sun Coast's finest Gulf of Mexico beaches.
