Many homes and condo rentals are available on the island. For friends and family, many dining options exist along Ocean Drive. There is no need to leave paradise when it is right under your feet!

Longboat Key Beaches

Longboat Key is a quiet respite to other area beaches. Serenity and peace are at your fingertips (and toes) as the sand and sea calm the senses for a perfectly tranquil beach wedding. The perfect place to get away is by the beautiful turquoise waters of the Gulf, away from crowds and noise. Ready for adventure, sign up for some fun in the surf and sand. Dine at elegant spots or have a low-key wedding. Whether it is an elopement, an intimate small affair, or a large beach wedding, Longboat Key Beach is a dream come true for brides and grooms-to-be.

Nokomis Beach

South of Siesta Key lies a quiet retreat unlike any other. With a lifeguard station on both the north and south ends of the beach and free public parking, guests will love Nokomis Beach. Seashells line the shores ready to be collected. Swim, sunbathe, take in the wildlife, or just enjoy nature at its finest. The concession stands at the beach make this space great for families and loved ones to enjoy. Destination weddings are popular here for these reasons and many more. The soft, white sand on your toes, amazing sunsets, and ample spaces to take beautiful photos of the big day are only part of what makes this place special. Preserve this day to enjoy memories with loved ones for many years to come.
