Public beach - Beach in Sarasota - Gulf of Mexico, USA

Lovely beach😎 The sand is so white and looks like flour while the water is very clear and almost waveless. There are restrooms nearby as well. Parking is free but lot gets crowded quickly

One of a great beaches to go to on the west coast.

Wonderful place to go walk. Breathtaking . Water is amazing, sand is so soft

Situated less than 5 miles southwest of the city center, Lido Beach on Lido Key offers more than 3,000 feet of white sand and families will appreciate this beach's calm water and ample space. Lido Beach sits within walking distance of St. Armands Circle, where various shops and eateries reside.

When you arrive the first thing you see is the beautiful white sand beach, we were on the private end actually for most of the time. Though as you get closer a strong scent of fish and seaweed fill your nose. Clean area, very well maintained. Only real downside are the trenches they build to drain into the water. Rode my bike down the beach a few times and gotta watch closely for those or you'll really eat it so to speak. Gorgeous area to watch the sunset, not real crowded at all. Leave your food at home unless you like eating sand! XD I love that they guard the turtle habitats. Oh. DONT EAT THE SAND

My daughter and I were on a vacation in the Sarasota area and went to Lido beach. We instantly loved the beach! Very clean and not too crowded when we were there. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Will definitely visit here again!

Beautiful soft and white sand, but very wide to cross if you have difficulties walking in sand. There sand bars here are awesome!! LOTS of birds and bait fish quite often, and especially today.

Beautiful views and can be walked to from the restaurants in the center. There are some beautiful homes with crazy architecture with some of them.
