Absolutely love this beach! Powder white sand for miles, clear turquoise waters, so many shells and wildlife in the preservation areas. Lots of free parking areas up and down the beach, which is rare these days.
I think what I love the most about this place is the commercial development has been kept off the beach! When you're at the beach there's no loud, rowdy crowds or music. Just the crashing sound of the waves and laughter of children playing. Don't get me wrong I love a good beach restaurant but I think there's something magical about it being more natural.
There are restaurants and bars one or two streets over so not a far walk, trolley or cart ride away. Such a wonderful family friend place. Lots of options for vacation rentals. Just a short drive from central Florida or even closer the Sarasota airport. We will definitely be back. read more
