Lido Beach
Edit SpotAbout
I like Lido....
Atmosphere:
Its chill. There are plenty of homeless people that will hit on your lady friends.
March 2009 sand renourishment has ruined the break. The jetties are completely covered...
Additional Info:
Lido beach has two rock jetties most people surf to the left of the left rock jetty (when your facing the beach) You can surf really anywhere along the beach though. farther north by the pass it breaks ffar out. JETTIES HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND FILLED IN WITH SAND FOR BEACH RENOURISHMENT!

From sarasota go over the ringling bridge to st.armands circle. go around st armands untill you get to the lido eit, turn right, the road will turn right and run along the beach, the best spots are at the first exit/parking lot before the turn. and down the road on the right at the public beach.
