Public Beach Access, Longboat Key FL

The shortest walk to a gulf beach yet. Appreciate these little areas, even more so when we luck out with a parking spot! Keep it clean, appreciate and respect the neighbors that are lucky enough to own a piece of paradise. Respect keeps these spots going. I'm mobility challenged so I'm thankful for close spots to the beach!

Wonderful beach access and street parking. The beach is not super crowded if you head to your right. Lots of places to choose from, without the crowds. Shells are amazing here too.

What a great hideaway spot. Only two parking spots at this public beach entrance. It was perfect. Hardly anyone around when we were there. VERY SHORT walk to the water from the parking lot (which I liked). Didn't have to lug all our stuff very far to begin setting up and having a good time. Water was perfect.

Great spot, not so busy due to the small parking space, I guess. There are no lifesaver if you’re looking for that. The coast is really clean and safe. We loved it.

Great if your want your privacy. Not many people know about this area so it’s pretty empty and nice. Water is cool, not the cleanest and not as nice as siesta key, but overall good. A plus is that the walk from the car to the shore is very short which is very much appreciated when you have to lug a whole bunch of items. Sand is not harsh. You have to walk a bit to get to the closet restroom and wash station, but we didn’t mind, gave us a chance to explore the area.

Everyone was respectful in keeping their distance, so you don’t have to worry about privacy or people playing loud music close to you.

Would definitely come back to the same stop for a more peaceful time.

Parking was temporarily closed at the access on 4/15/21, but there were plenty spots across the street at the town hall. Crossing the street with a speed limit of 45mph and no crosswalk seems like an oversight. But the walk is less than 2 minutes and the beach is pristine.

WATCH OUT! TICKET TRAP! JUST GOT TOWED AND COST $275!

Great access to the beach and a quiet not crowded. Great spot to park and take a nice beach walk or just relax on the beach. The sand is nice and soft. The parking lot is small and fills up fairly quick, but in off season and in the morning it is perfect spot for quiet beach access.
