ABOUT THE COVER

“Entrance to God’s Morning” was taken at 7 a.m. in September on mid Longboat Key. Photographer Mary Lou Johnson was looking for the Key’s eagles when she noticed the sky’s beauty. Her favorite sky images usually include clouds, which bounce the color from second to second in a fascinating changing array of hues. Her work centers on catching the light at the right time.

About Mary Lou Johnson: After retiring from more than 20 years of private practice of marriage and family counseling, Mary Lou Johnson jumpstarted her lifetime love of photography by taking photography classes and obtaining a threeyear degree from the New York Institute of Photography.

■ WELCOME

Longboat Key The town of Longboat Key turned 56 on Nov. 13, 2011. But the island of Longboat Key has a rich history that predates the formation of the town. Longboat Key has been a tourist destination for hundreds — if not thousands — of years. Its earliest tourists were Calusa and Timucan Indians who lived on the mainland east of the island but traveled to the island to enjoy many of the same attractions that visitors treasure today: the beaches and bountiful seafood harvest. Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto led an expedition in 1538

» fast facts ■ Longboat Key is most likely named for the longboats that Spaniards used once they reached landfall. According to local legend, explorer Juan Anasco believed the Indians were hostile when he and his companions reached land. They fled, leaving their longboat in the bayou. ■ The pirate Jean La Fitte was shipwrecked in 1821 on or near Longboat Key for several months. ■ Longboat Key hasn’t been hit directly by a hurricane since 1947. ■ President George W. Bush stayed on Longboat Key on Sept. 10, 2001, the night before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

to Florida in search of gold. His scout and treasurer, Juan Anasco, explored the area and is said to be the first white man to set foot on Longboat Key. It wasn’t until the late 1800s that Longboat Key got its first permanent residents. In 1888, Thomas Mann, a Confederate soldier and carpenter by trade, moved his family to a thatched hut he built on the north end of the Key. In 1891, Mann was awarded 144.47 acres, as part of the Homestead Act of 1862, in what is now the Longbeach Village neighborhood. Communities developed in the early 1900s at the north end of the island and mid-Key, where an agricultural community of approximately 18 families flourished. The Mistletoe steamship transported visitors between the island and the mainland and also shipped produce from farmer Byron Corey’s dock, known as Corey’s Landing. A hurricane in October 1921 destroyed island farming activity and most existing homes. But a storm couldn’t wipe out island life. Throughout the next 30 years, families continued to move to Longboat Key, and on Nov. 13, 1955, residents voted 18613 to incorporate as a town. Arvida Corp. changed the course of the island’s history in 1959, when it bought waterfront property on the south end of Longboat and its surrounding keys www.longboat-

for $13.5 million. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the company developed plans for condominiums and golf courses that would give the Key its current character today. It began construction for Longboat’s first condominium, Seaplace, in 1973, and followed with many subsequent developments. Today, Longboat Key is home to a year-round population of 8,000 and draws as many as 22,000 at the peak of season, usually considered to be Easter weekend. Just like Longboat Key’s original tourists, residents and visitors alike enjoy the beaches and weather — but today’s islanders also cherish the many recreational and cultural amenities, along with shops and restaurants located both on and off the island. Centuries after Calusa and Timucan Indians became Longboat Key’s earliest tourists, the island remains a tourist destination. Both Longboaters and tourists enjoy the Key’s warm weather, pristine beaches and many local offerings.

LIDO KEY

The Paleo and Calusa Indians lived on Lido Key and surrounding lands for 4,000 years, and archaeological evidence suggests they worshiped the sun. The Indians left the barrier island after Spanish explorers came in search of gold in the 1500s. Then, for more than three centuries, the barrier island was largely uninhabited. But John Ringling took an interest in Lido Key in the 1920s. Hoping to inspire Warren G. Harding, who was president at the time, to buy a winter home on nearby Bird Key, Ringling named the streets on Lido Key after American presidents. In 1940, the city of Sarasota

opened the Lido Casino with funding from the Works Progress Administration, the largest New Deal agency, to attract tourists and provide jobs. The casino was a popular attraction in the 1940s and 1950s. Tourists often lined up to have their pictures taken with the large seahorse sculptures that were attached to the building. The casino was demolished in 1969, and, today, the Lido Beach Pavilion stands in its place. Lido Key was among the barrier islands Arvida purchased for $13.5 million in 1958. But the public protested in 1967, when Arvida proposed enlarging part of Lido Key, as it had Bird Key. As a compromise, Arvida sold Sarasota County the northern and southern tips to use as county parks. Today, Lido Key, is home to a renowned white-sand beach that was renourished in 2009, along with hotels and motels and a population of about

St. Armands Key St. Armands Key is named for Frenchman Charles St. Amand — and, yes, that is a misspelling. St. Amand bought a total 131.89 acres of land on the Key in 1893 for just $21.71, but his name was misspelled in the original deeds. St. Amand and other pioneers fished in the surrounding waters and grew produce, shipping it to the mainland. But in 1917, John Ringling bought St. Armands Key, envisioning it as the jewel of the cosmopolitan city-by-the-sea of Sarasota. He envisioned residential and shopping units that would form the shape of a circle. In 1925, Ringling began work on a causeway that would join St. Armands Key to the mainland and used circus elephants to haul materials. Real-estate sales topped $1 million in one day in 1926, when sales of the John Ringling Estates launched.

» fast facts ■ The Columbia Restaurant, which opened in 1959, is the oldest business on the Circle.

But most transactions were made with minimal deposits, which were forfeited or returned after the stock market crash of 1929 and subsequent Great Depression. Ringling donated the causeway to the city of Sarasota, because he was unable to maintain it. For

the next 20 years, St. Armands Key sat virtually empty, with vegetation growing over what was once the Circle. But in the 1940s and 1950s, businesses began to return to the Circle. By the 1960s, the Circle had a reputation as a premier shopping destination. Today, St. Armands Circle is home to approximately 130 businesses, including boutiques, shops, restaurants, galleries, salons and more, and approximately 750 residents live on St. Armands Key. St. Armands Circle Park is the site of frequent events, such as car shows, craft festivals, Holiday Night on St. Armands and Fright Night. But the shops and events aren’t the only sights to see on the Circle. Residents and merchants have worked together to restore Ringling’s historic statues that are found throughout St. Armands Key. They symbolize Ringling’s vision for St. Armands and for Sarasota. Courtesy of The Longboat Observer

Historic hotspots

Longboat Key became a town in 1955, but the island’s history goes back much further. In the early 1990s, the town teamed up with the Longboat Key Historical Society to create seven markers that detail Key history. So, get on your bicycle, strap on your rollerblades or hop in your car and take a trip back in time.

» Overlook Park:

Drive north on New Pass Bridge and make a sharp left before the Chart House restaurant and you’ll see Marker No. 1, located at the site where John Ringling began to build his Ritz-Carlton Hotel in 1926. Ringling never completed the hotel, which became known as the “Ghost Hotel,” and stood empty for nearly 40 years.

» 2162 Gulf of Mexico Drive:

Before Longboat Key became a vacation paradise, the island was home to a small farming community. In the early 1900s, near where Marker No. 2 stands today, approximately 18 families grew a variety of fruits and shipped them from Key pioneer and farmer Byron Corey’s dock. Farming came to an end after an October 1921 hurricane flooded the island and washed away Corey’s dock.

» 3960 Gulf of Mexico Drive:

» 4250 Gulf of Mexico: Today,

Longboat Key’s beaches are serene. But as Marker No. 4 describes, that wasn’t the case during World War II. Fighter pilots assigned to the 717th base unit at Sarasota Army Airfield skimmed across Sarasota Bay for training exercises, shooting at silhouettes of German tanks.

» 4800 Gulf of Mexico Drive:

Today’s residents and visitors plan their schedules around the plethora of fun-filled area events. But during World War II, residents planned their schedules around the military drills that resulted in a mid-Key portion of Gulf of

Mexico Drive being blocked off, as described on Marker No. 5.

Opposite 631 Broadway in the Longbeach Village:

In 1888, Thomas Mann became Longboat Key’s first permanent resident when he built a thatched hut in what is now the Village, where Marker No. 6 is located. Mann, a Civil War veteran and carpenter, most likely moved to the island from the mainland to escape a yellow-fever plague.

Further down Broadway, north of the present dock:

Before the 1921 hurricane, a town dock stood near the location where Marker No. 7 stands today. Large ships transported tourists and fishing parties to the dock from Tampa and then continued on to Corey’s dock to carry vegetables to mainland Sarasota.

71109

On a sunny day, you’re practically guaranteed to see boaters enjoying the crystal clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Marker No. 3 details the historic role of boats on the island. Timucan and Calusa Indians came by canoe to the Key, and during the 1500s,

Spanish ships were common sights. In 1539, Hernando De Soto landed just north of the Key on the Manatee River with 600 men.

Each winter, Longboaters welcome some of their favorite visitors from the North — of the feathered variety — as bluebirds, loons and other species of migrating seabirds flock to Longboat Key when the weather turns cold. Unfortunately, many migrating birds and native species alike face dangerous obstacles, such as fishing lines, boat propellers and vehicle collisions, which can leave them injured. That’s where Save Our Seabirds comes in. Save Our Seabirds is a non-profit organization founded in 2008 that helps birds that are

■ RECREATION

Fishing REELS IN visitors and residents The waters surrounding Longboat, Lido, St. Armands and Bird keys are an angler’s paradise. Novice and expert anglers alike can experience exciting action on species as diverse as speckled trout, sailfish, flounder, snook, redfish and grouper. The best outfit for fishing the area’s inshore waters is a matched 8- to 10-pound spinning rod and reel or an eight-weight fly rod. Artificial lures are effective and easy to use. Best bets include jigs, spoons, Clouser flies and top water plugs. If you prefer live bait, you can stock up on live shrimp at Cannons Marina or net baitfish from the beach or grass flats that border the island. Rig light and avoid heavy weight that adversely affects the action of lures or live bait. Fly fishing is gaining popularity and is effective on all saltwater species. The extensive grass flats that surround the island are a magnet for game fish and a good

place to concentrate your efforts. Explore the deeper edges of the flats and the sand holes that dot them. Wade the shallow grass for a stealthy approach to redfish, snook and large trout. Longboat Pass and New Pass hold concentrations of fish around structures, including the bridges, rock jetties and points with good water flow. One of the best places and easiest places to fish is the beach. Concentrate your efforts right in the

surf line and the slue that parallels most of the beach. Snook, whiting, flounder, ladyfish, pompano and Jack cravelle are a few of the fish you’ll find cruising the surf. Anglers with a boat will find one of angling’s most awesome fish, the tarpon, roaming just off the beaches during May, June and July. Within sight of the beach you can also find schools of Spanish mackerel, little tunny, king mackerel and cobia. Further offshore the artificial reefs, ledges and hard bottom hold grouper, snapper, barracuda and other bottom-dwellers. During the spring and summer dolphin, sailfish, tuna and wahoo inhabit the deeper Gulf of Mexico waters. One of the best ways to learn the local waters is to hire a fishing guide. Guides are on the water daily, know the seasonal patterns and provide the knowledge of basic tackle and techniques. — Rusty Chinnis

NEWCOMER INFORMATION Location

Longboat Key is a 10.8-mile barrier island in Southwest Florida. On the east, the Key encloses the western boundary of Sarasota Bay, and it is bordered to the west by the Gulf of Mexico. The island’s white-sand beaches draw thousands of tourists and year-round residents each year. And the dense mangroves on its eastern border are an active spot for kayakers and boaters to spot wildlife such as dolphins and manatees. Longboat is separated from neighboring islands by deep water passes from the Gulf to Sarasota Bay. On the north end, Longboat Pass Bridge connects the Key to Bradenton Beach; on the south end, New Pass Bridge connects Longboat Key to St. Armands Key. St. Armands Key, 83.6 acres in size, and Lido Key, 530 acres total, lie to the south of Longboat Key and are located west of Sarasota. Lido Key is bordered by Sarasota Bay on the east and west, and St. Armands Key is surrounded by Lido Key to the west and Sarasota Bay to the east.

Transportation

Longboat Key’s primary transportation element is Gulf of Mexico Drive (S.R. 789), which is a two-lane state highway that runs the length of the Key from the north to south. All other roads are town-owned, two-lane roads that connect to Gulf of Mexico Drive.

Town of Longboat Key The town of Longboat Key was founded Nov. 14, 1955, three years after resident Guy Paschal began pushing for incorporation because he felt that the island lacked representation. Because the island was split between Sarasota and Manatee counties, residents paid taxes in both counties but had virtually no say in what happened to the island. After three hours and 10 minutes of debate, residents voted 186-13 for incorporation. When the town of Longboat Key incorporated, it was home to just 250 registered voters; today, it has more than 6,300. The town is

still split between two counties and is governed by a seven-member Town Commission and administered under a town manager. The town

has 125 full-time and parttime employees, including approximately 20 sworn police officers and more than 30 firefighter/rescue personnel. Town staff works with residents to maintain the beauty and services for which Longboat Key is known.

Longboat Observer The Longboat Observer is not your everyday newspaper. It’s a free weekly, delivered every Thursday, and its website, YourObserver.com, keeps readers informed with daily news. All news hits close to home, focusing exclusively on Longboat, Lido, St. Armands and Bird keys. The paper’s pages come alive with photographs from the islands’ many social events and features about the lives of local residents. And the 32-year-old newspaper also has many one-of-akind features. Current owners Matt and Lisa Walsh bought the newspaper in 1995. Since then, the company has expanded to become

The Observer Group Inc., which also publishes East County Observer, Sarasota Observer, Pelican Press, Palm Coast Observer, Gulf Coast Business Review and Season magazine. The Longboat Observer has won numerous awards, including the title of Florida’s Best Weekly in 2010 from the Florida Press Association. Thirty-two years after its founding, The Longboat Observer remains true to its roots: It still offers hyperlocal content for its readers.

Longboat Key

71190

Named one of North America’s top islands by Condé Nast Traveler’s readers, Longboat Key lures visitors who want a bit of pampering. Here, travelers dine well on globally inspired cuisine and fresh seafood, shop in small boutiques, and gaze at the impossibly green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The Key is perfectly sandwiched between the beachy playfulness of Anna Maria Island to the north – and the nightlife, restaurants and culture of St. Armands Circle to the south. Book your getaway at AMILBK.com/deals.

Why do people consistently return to our Four-Diamond Florida beachfront resort? Maybe it’s the warm Gulf waters along our white-sand beach or the private balconies in our luxurious suites. Maybe it’s the fact that Golf Digest named us one of the “Best Places to Play,” or that the USTA gave our Tennis Gardens its Outstanding Facility Award. Maybe it’s our indulgent Island House Spa, our six superb restaurants or our full-service marina. Whatever it is, it’s all here. And it’s all yours.

Unwind in spacious, beautifully decorated rooms and suites.

Play a match at our USTA award-winning Tennis Gardens.
