Longboat Key
Longboat Key’s main thoroughfare, Gulf of Mexico Drive, was constructed by circus magnate John Ringling in 1925. Today Gulf of Mexico Drive is one of the most scenic drives, with glimpses to the Gulf and Bay along its length, highly manicured landscapes, and emerald colored fairways of the two championship golf courses of the Longboat Key Club.
Longboat Key has its own commercial centers, fabulous restaurants, and post office and shops. Again, you may arrive and not want or need to leave the island for days.
