Kayaking thru the mangroves was awesome. Got to see a lot of wildlife. Event saw a starfish!
A hidden gem in St. Armands. Great for a private jaunt, or a romantic and scenic adventure.
A lot of mangrove trails for an outdoor day. Peaceful and entertainment.
Clean bathrooms, small crowd during the week. Lots of people fishing but its clean, the water is clear, theres trails to hike and grills to cook out on as well as a volley ball net. Bring a bag for all the shells youll find too! One of my favorite beach parks in Sarasota!
Localed at the S end of Lido Key, Sarasota, Fl. Small county park with private launch kayak companies on site with picnic areas. Kayak in the mangrove tunnels. You ll enjoy your time.
We actually are reviewing the kayak launch at Ted Sperling Park. It is way too commercialized!!! It states its a public park, but it is completely overrun by numerous kayak businesses. We were there on a Saturday and there was at least 7 different kayak rental businesses there. On returning from our trip on the water, we had to wait in a line of about 50 kayakers who were also trying to get back to the launch. If all these businesses do have a license to operate at this park, then the city of Sarasota dropped the ball on this one. It should not be considered a public launch as the businesses and patrons take up all available parking.
Love this place. It can get crowded on the weekends with all the tours and rentals but a great time to go is the late afternoon and evening after everyone has left.
It was the best way to start the day. Thank you so much. I will be back.
Very peaceful great place to relax
Always enjoyable day!!!
