6 Beaches In Sarasota For Your Hawaiian-Themed Party

1. Longboat Key
This beach is considered to be the longest in Sarasota, with a 12 mile-coastline. Unlike other beaches that are open for unlimited public use, Longbeach Key has limited access for visitors. That’s why it’s less crowded and more peaceful. It is also the home of turtles that nest and lay eggs during summer.

2. Lido Key
As with other Sarasota beaches, it has beautiful scenic views and excellent locations for sunset viewing and watching dolphins. Within the vicinity, you can visit St. Armand’s Circle to shop in boutiques and try their fine dining restaurants.

3. Siesta Key
Siesta Key beach is known for its pristine waters and amazing fine sand that came from quartz deposits. In 2020, it was recognized as the #1 beach in the United States by TripAdvisor.

4. Casey Key
This low-key beach is almost limited to the locals with fewer accommodations. The southern part is where you can enjoy the beach to yourself and do whatever you want while the northern section has a private road where exclusive homes are located.

5. Caspersen Beach
This beach is known for being “The Shark Tooth Capital of the World.” You can find a fossilized shark tooth, or spot seashells, sea turtles, and shorebirds during your stay. Caspersen beach offers kayaking, free parking, a boardwalk, and a playground for children.

6. Manasota Key
Manasota Key has the least visitors compared to other beaches. However, it is open for public use with no limitations. Other amenities include facilities for picnics, boating, biking, and celebrating important events.
