This is a pristine eleven mile long island surrounded by the clear blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay. Vacationers from all over the world come to Longboat Key to enjoy a relaxing beach environment. It is a great place to unwind and forget about your daily worries.

Longboat Key Activities

There is plenty to do in the Sarasota, Florida area. Especially, if you want to play in the water and untie your knots. I just vacationed at Disney in Orlando with my family for 4 days. I had a fabulous time but I left there more tired than when I arrived. That is unlikely if you spent a weekend relaxing at the beach on Longboat Key. Below are some of the fun things to do.

• Beach
• Boating
• Golfing
• Tennis
• Shopping
• Fine dining
• Mote Marine Aquarium

• Parasailing
