Longboat Key | SARASOTA FL | Travel Guide | Best Florida Beaches

Longboat Key is an 11 mile long island located to the west of Sarasota, Florida and divided between Sarasota and Manatee Counties. The sleepy island offers world class golfing and resorts as well as some of the very best Florida beaches. What separates Longboat Key's beaches from the busier Sarasota area beaches (to the south) and St. Petersburg area beaches (to the north), is that you'll often find Longboat Key's beaches to be nearly empty in comparison. In this video, we'll show you why Longboat Key is such an amazing beach destination. We'll guide you to where you can access Longboat Key's best beaches and will also explain why Longboat beaches are so empty compared to several nearby beaches to the north and the south. We'll also show you why Longboat Key isn't only about the beaches, as we take you along with us to some of the island's best establishments for coffee/breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, dessert, and live music. ____ Thanks so much for watching.
