6 Beautiful Beaches in Sarasota & Venice, Florida
Lido Beach
Lido Beach is another great beach for watching a Gulf sunset. Although the sand is not the powdery smooth sand you will find at Siesta and Crescent, it is a better option for those looking to relax and find sea shells (the sand is still white, just a little more shelly). Here you will find more locals enjoying the sunset, rather than tourists. It tends to get much less crowded than the touristy beaches, so you can enjoy the day without much added noise.
Choose Lido if you are more concerned with enjoying a quiet day rather than digging your toes into soft white sand, which is what draws all the crowds to Siesta & Crescent. Another advantage of visiting Lido is the close proximity to St. Armand’s Circle, a wonderful shopping and dining destination.
Lido – an amazing sunset destination!
