Beach,Bay or Back Nine...Live the Dream in Sarasota, Florida

Kathleen Herron

Who hasn't dreamed of watching the sunset from their deck; of taking an early morning walk along a quiet beach, searching for shells; of swimming in warm waters in front of your home or along glorious white sand beaches; of taking a boat out to deep water to sail or do battle with the big fish; of playing a round of golf with the gulf as your backdrop. That's what life is like on Sarasota's barrier islands.

So what are you waiting for? This is the place. Now is the time.
Beach, Bay or Back Nine...Live the Dream™

Sarasota Barrier Island: Longboat Key
Is golf your passion? Play here and you quickly discover that sand is not necessarily a trap or water a hazard on this 11-mile long barrier island. Home to some of Florida's finest golf and tennis resorts, Longboat Key's opulent high-rise condos and elegant waterfront homes are connected by bridge to quaint Anna Maria Island on the north and happening Lido Key to the south, putting you at the very heart of the best Florida's Gulf Coast has to offer.
Population: Approximately 7500 residents.

Sarasota Barrier Island: Lido Key
The Gulf, Bay and Sarasota skyline provide a spectacular backdrop for this Sarasota barrier island's luxurious high-rise condos and upscale homes. It's chic shopping and dining district, St. Armand's Circle, is a favorite must-stop destination for visitors from all over the world and locals alike. And then there's the Mote Aquarium, Lido Beach and South Lido Park, 100-acre natural waterfront where you can explore nature trails, kayak, picnic and enjoy the warm waters of the Gulf. All this and it's just minutes to downtown Sarasota and all that cultural Mecca offers.
Population: Approximately 1500 residents.

Sarasota Barrier Island: Bird Key
With a private yacht club, deepwater canals and 291 of its spectacular 511 estates on the bay front, the magical Sarasota barrier island of Bird Key is a boater's paradise. This exclusive, gated community, located just off the John Ringling Causeway between Lido Key and Sarasota, is only minutes from all the delights of downtown Sarasota, the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.
Population: Less than 1000 residents.

Sarasota Barrier Island: Siesta Key
From its beach cottages and mid-rise condos to its elegant waterfront homes, this Sarasota barrier island exudes that "old Florida" feeling of friendly neighbors, soft sand between your toes and a cool breeze blowing in off the Gulf. It's white sand beaches are consistently ranked among the best in the nation and its two villages offer shopping that runs from chic to funky and dining that ranges from family friendly to elegant.
Population: Less than 8000 permanent residents

Sarasota Barrier Island: Casey Key
If privacy is your passion, this elegant, exclusive Sarasota barrier island may just be the ideal location to live your Florida dream. Made up almost entirely of luxurious single-family homes - nearly all have a Gulf view - Casey Key is "old Florida" at its finest. No high-rise condos, no chain hotels, just friendly neighbors, un-crowded beaches and winding streets covered by canopies of tropical palms on an island so narrow, some homes have a front yard that borders the Gulf and a backyard that borders the Bay.
Population: Less than 400 residents.

Sarasota Barrier Island: Manasota Key
No high rises. No traffic lights. The southernmost of the Sarasota barrier islands, this charming Key has just a two-lane road that meanders through it as lazily as a day in the hammock, four pristine beaches, and a wildlife sanctuary. Connected by one bridge to Sarasota County and by another to Charlotte County, this small, quaint island features low-rise condos at its south end and private homes on one-acre lots at its north end.
Population: Approximately 1400 residents
