Englewood Beach is great for watching boat traffic, the boat launch, and enjoying the harbor view. Parking is steps away from the beach and it’s easy to keep an eye on kids with the small beach area. Sand has a mix of crushed shells and pebbles with bands of seaweed at the water’s edge; a greater concentration of each at the water’s edge and next to the boat ramp. There is a moderate drop off prior to nearing the water; after the drop off the slope to the water is gradual. Waves are small with the exception of boat wakes.
