Planning a trip to Longboat Key FL? You’ll want to make sure you don’t miss out on the town’s most visited attractions. Start at Joan M Durante Community Park , which offers numerous opportunities for recreation, including tennis courts, biking trails, fishing spots and more. From there head over to Beer Can Island, a secluded stretch of sand surrounded by mangroves and teeming with wildlife. If you’re looking for something a bit more educational, visit Marietta Museum of Art & Whimsy -- home to rotating art exhibitions from local and international artists.

Don't forget about Bayfront Park — a lush city park with gardens, sculptures and plenty of shade trees — or Sarasota Classic Car Museum — a must-visit for gearheads. Animal lovers will enjoy Big Cat Habitat Gulf Coast Sanctuary — home to lions, tigers, lemurs and other exotic creatures — and The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature — featuring interactive exhibits about the region's flora and fauna. Last but not least is Siesta Beach ; this stunning stretch of sand is known around the world for its pure white quartz crystals that blanket the shoreline.
