Lido Key is a small, luxurious island paradise off the coast of Sarasota, Florida. It is made up of single family homes, condos and the exciting St. Armands Circle. On "The Circle" you can dine with friends, enjoy a drink, get a massage or facial, devour an ice cream or shop for a new outfit. It is a fun place to be.

Lido Key beach is also very popular. People love to walk to the north end of the island to New Pass to catch a beautiful sunset. It truly is a magical place to enjoy. Take a drive with me through Lido Key and St. Armands Circle in the video below.
