Once you arrive, you really have no reason to leave again until check-out. The Long Beach Cafe, Whitney’s, Mar Vista, and The Shore are all fantastic LBK restaurant staples within easy walking distance. Being just one house off the bay, from the pool, you can see the public dock, Sarasota Bay and Jewfish Key, which offers fishing, kayaking, and breathtaking sunrises over the bay. Public beach access is across Gulf of Mexico Blvd as you exit The Villages, as well as the infamous and ever so popular Beer Can Island.
