Bird Key

Bird Key is a beautiful residential island community conveniently located between mainland Sarasota and Lido/St. Armands Key. Circus magnate John Ringling purchased this island in the early 1920’s and linked it to mainland Sarasota; that "link" is named, but of course, the John Ringling Bridge. The bridge was recently converted to a fixed-span beauty that has become symbolic of the downtown Sarasota skyline.
 
Bird Key is an upscale residential community consisting of over 500 homes. Many of these homes were originally built in the 1950’s and have been completely remodeled, with newly-constructed luxurious bayfront homes emerging alongside them. The Bird Key residents are a mix of sophisticated professionals and their families along with active retirees; all residents engage in the numerous neighborhood activities. 
 
While "bird-key" watching, you are likely to spot a famous celebrity, or two, or three! And Bird Key offers everything a serious boater could dream of – and then some. The Bird Key Yacht Club was established in 1959 and continues as a vibrant part of the Bird Key neighborhood today. In addition to boating activities, the club offers many social events and dining opportunities for members and their families.
 
But wait - it gets better! Located directly across from Bird Key's entrance is a hip waterfront area called Causeway Park, just under the Ringling Bridge. It's nautical theater - watch all types of watersport aficionados such as kite surfers, windsurfers, skiers and the like, all performing for you daily. Pull up your beach chair and kick back! Or, for the more active, walk the Ringling Bridge for exercise, then return to your Bird Key paradise. It's all there, waiting just for you.
