A weekend itinerary on one of Sarasota's most varied barrier islands: Lido Key
Connected to the mainland by the famous John Ringling Causeway Bridge, Lido Key encompasses shopping/dining mecca St. Armands Circle, white-sand beaches, enchanting mangrove tunnels, an aquarium full of native marine life, recreation parks, gorgeous real estate and one of the best views of downtown. This weekend itinerary takes any question out of "where should we go?" and "what should we do?" for your stay in Lido Key.
