North Lido Beach

Not as crowded as Siesta Key Beach but not as nice either... It's still a nice beach no doubt. Pro tip: come at sunset when it's empty, come with your s/o, very romantic !

Some of the nicest sand around and not overly crowded . Get here early to get parking or you'll have to go further from st. Armand's

Beautiful beach . White sand and clear waters.

Getting there early is great. Its not crowded or too hot!

Great beach to walk to after having dinner in downtown Sarasota or St Armand 's circle.

Great beach . We loved how peaceful it was.

The parking is always convenient. The walk to the beach isn't far from here. Go hang out at Sf Armand's afterwards.

Nice and less crowded alternative if Siesta Key is too packed.

Check out the north end, it's quiet with some small dunes to crash on :-)

Be sure to hit the Sarasota Cupcake Company at St Armands . The best cupcakes in the world(possibly in the universe ).

Always such an amazing place.... need to spend more time there!

The northern part of Lido Beach has the best sand on the key (very much like Siesta Key Beach sand) and is much less crowded .

An exquisite beach . Great family destination. Even a lovely nature walk ♡

Be mindful of the Sea Turtle nests at the beach - it's the LAW!

Get some thing to drink or eat

Wear sunscreen !!!! The sun is brutal!! I love this beach !

Great place to be on new years.

Much less crowded than Siesta, but just as nice!

This used to be a nude beach , shhh

Friggin beautiful

Beautiful sunset
