Lido Beach

Enjoy it while visiting Sarasota in Florida

Lido Beach

Lido Beach, located just a short distance of under 5 miles southwest from downtown Sarasota, is easily accessible and offers over 3,000 feet of beautiful white sand. On Lido Key, visitors can enjoy various recreation areas with convenient facilities such as picnic tables and a pool (accessible for a fee).

Lido Beach is a favorite spot for seashell hunting enthusiasts. Visitors often mention that if you enjoy searching for seashells, this beach is perfect for you. However, keep in mind that the shells can be sharp and may hurt your feet if you decide to go swimming without wearing shoes. Families particularly enjoy Lido Beach because of its peaceful waters and spaciousness. Another advantage is that it’s conveniently located within walking distance of St. Armands Circle, a lively area with a variety of shops and restaurants to explore.
