Bean Point Beach is at the "end" of the island on North Bay Blvd, not far from Pine Ave where the street is Both places are full of restaurants, shops, boutiques, ice cream parlors and more, while the Holmes Beach area offers more nightly entertainment.

The Fish Hole Miniature Golf

Part of nearby Coquina Beach is the Coquina Baywalk. This is a beautiful trail that meanders along the sandy shore of the beach and over to Leffis Key mangrove trail that goes along Sarasota Bay. Fun to walk or bike and CLOSE.
