A 4.7/5 with 586 reviews plus strong visitor praise for sunsets, clear water, facilities, shade, and walking make it a top Sarasota Gulf-area beach.

What visitors say

Visitors consistently highlight breathtaking sunsets, soft sand/clear water, calm bay-side conditions, and strong amenities (bathrooms/showers/picnic tables) with low crowds.
