Shark Tooth Hunting Tours on Manasota Key
Manasota Key is one of the most productive shark tooth beaches in Florida — and Sharkier's guided eco-tour shows you exactly how to work it. Wade in from Manasota Beach, sift with pro gear, and find real fossilized teeth. 90 minutes, all gear included, $69.99 per person.
Why Manasota Key?
Millions of years ago, this stretch of Gulf Coast was shark habitat. Today the fossil layer sits just offshore, and every tide and storm washes teeth onto the beaches of Manasota Key — more consistently than just about anywhere else in Florida. Read why there are so many shark teeth on Manasota Key. Our tours meet at Manasota Beach, the key's most accessible launch point, and hunt the shoreline where shells — and teeth — pile up.

How the Tour Works
Meet at Manasota Beach
We meet in the Manasota Beach park parking lot on Manasota Key — free parking, easy to find, about 20 minutes south of Venice.
Scoop & Sift
Wade into the shallows and work the shell line with your floating sifter. Teeth are dark, light, and stay on top of the screen.
Spot Your Teeth
Look for small dark triangles. Most guests find 20 or more fossilized shark teeth on a single tour — and keep every one.
