Sarasota and Florida’s Gulf Islands are located on the Gulf Coast of Florida and include an idyllic string of islands – including Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key, Lido Key and Siesta Key.

The region, located on the West Coast of Florida, between Tampa and Fort Myers is synonymous with beautiful, white sand beaches, outstanding restaurants, wildlife and a string of unspoilt natural islands, comprising what many refer to as ‘hidden Florida’.

A brief tour of some of the islands…

Anna Maria Island – an ultra laid-back island, free from high rise development and fast food.
Siesta Key – linked to the mainland by two drawbridges, Siesta Key is home to some of the world’s best beaches.
Longboat Key – eleven miles of tropical-island surrounded by waters which are home to dolphins and manatees.
