Located off the coast of Sarasota lies one of Florida's most valued treasures. Longboat Key is an eleven mile long island paradise which is pleasantly surrounded by the aqua blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota bay. The northern half of the island is in Manatee county while the southern half is in Sarasota county. Access to the island is from Bradenton from the north bridge or Sarasota from the south bridge. All of the island is located within the boundaries of the Town of Longboat Key, a Florida municipality incorporated in 1955.  

According to the most recent U.S. Census Bureau estimates, Longboat Key has a population of roughly 7,400 people as well as about 8,800 housing units. Island residents are made up of mostly 2nd home owners, retirees and working professionals. 

Longboat Key attracts vacationers from the state of Florida, nationally as well as internationally. The island is popular to Europeans in both the winter and summer. Vacationers mostly visit Longboat Key to frolic on the beach and in the clear blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Other recreational activities include boating, fishing, enjoying a day at the spa, shopping, parasailing, jetskiing, dining and fine or casual restaurants on St. Armands Circle, playing tennis or golfing. Longboat Key is the only barrier island off the coast of Sarasota that a golf course.

Longboat Key is also conveniently located to Sarasota's culture district. Art lovers will find it easy to enjoy the theater, opera, symphony, ballet, movies or art museums.
