Longboat Key
Coming south from Lido Key or north from Anna Maria Island lies Longboat Key, an elegant tropical setting that offers every amenity you can imagine.
Waterfront golf is one of the highlights of this Sarasota-Manatee gem, a resort community for locals and longtime residents which also offers renowned fine dining—as well as casual options right on the water—the ever-popular Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, boating to scenic Beer Can Island, and even a free waterski show.
