Ensconced between Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, Longboat Key lies on a barrier island bearing the same name. Historically a dwelling for Native Americans, the first European explorers set foot on the Key as early as the 16th Century, which was even rumoured to be a shipwreck site of the infamous pirate Jean Lafitte. Since then, the island has weathered storms both metaphorical and literal, including significant hurricanes and attempts to establish a permanent community, culminating in its incorporation as a town in 1955.

Longboat Key rallies the quaint charm of small-town life with its population resting at just over 7000 according to the latest census. The region offers an extensive array of amenities, from shopping and dining to sports clubs, catering to all who succumb to its enticing charm. While a significant portion of the area consists of water, it includes unique spots like Jewfish Key, known for its nature preserve and being accessible only by boat. Whether you're indulging in the convenient facilities or exploring the island's hidden treasures, Longboat Key will continuously dazzle you with its manifold delights.

When to visit Longboat Key

When planning your trip to Longboat Key, considering the season is essential to ensure a delightful experience.

However, those who prefer cooler climes and a lower chance of precipitation might find December, November, and January more fitting.

Spring and summer, specifically from March through August, tend to be the busiest from a tourist perspective, illuminating the island with a vibrant holiday spirit. Regardless of the season, rest assured that Longboat Key, with its admirable safety record, promises an undisturbed, serene getaway.
