Lido Key is a barrier island in Sarasota known for its luxurious resorts and beautiful, less-crowded beaches. The main attraction is St. Armands Circle, a roundabout lined with high-end boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants. The beach itself features soft sand and calm waters, perfect for swimming and shelling. Visitors can also kayak through nearby mangrove tunnels or relax at the Lido Beach Pavilion. It's a more polished, sophisticated alternative to neighboring Siesta Key.
