Longboat Key, Lido Key, and St. Armands Key are ideal beach and bayfront settings for the ultimate Florida lifestyle. Stretching between the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico and serene Sarasota Bay, these keys attract those who come to enjoy the average year-round temperature of 73 degrees.
The area is appreciated by wildlife as well, so these waters are home to manatee, dolphins, and fish, while pelicans, osprey, and a variety of shorebids find sanctuary here. Tennis and golf enthusiasts will find first-class facilities here, and there are several parks on the Keys to visit for a relaxing afternoon.
Longboat Key, Lido Key and St. Armand's are well known as private island paradises, with homes and condominiums there to suit everyone, from deluxe Gulf front estates and condominiums to beachfront cottages, deluxe and modest hotel rooms.
The Longboat Key Center for the Arts, with a permanent collection and changing exhibits of juried and invitational shows, hosts art classes, workshops, and cultural events here on Longboat Key. Sarasota's many cultural centers are only minuteaway over the south bridge, including Van Wezel Performing Arts Center, Asolo Theater, Ringling Museum, Sarasota Ballet and Opera, and several other live theaters.
