This scenic beach is located next to a small park on Anna Maria Island.

This is our favourite beach in the world. The brilliant white sand leading down to a nice blue green is superb. It's nearly always clean and tidy but currently its does have a few issues. Parking is restricted as the never ending improvement works are going carried out (it's taken over a year so far and still nowhere near complete) and now an addition area is fenced off as they rebuild the beach patrol huts. That said, once you get on this beach it is just glorious, dolphins and manatees are frequent visitors, beautiful.

Great park! Usually pretty quiet and not too busy. We usually walk here because my son loves running around and playing on the playground. We also like walking along the different paths, which offer nice views of the bay, and enjoy looking at the different birds and plants all around.

Spent a few days with my son and family at my daughter in law’s uncle’s fabulous condo here in Longbeach Key, Florida. Scenery stunning, fabulous beach with, despite recent red tide problems, dolphins rolling fifty yards offshore. Fantastic seafood restaurants. Awesome, unforgettable experience.
