Casey Key is a captivating, seven-mile long barrier island off the west coast of Florida just south of Sarasota. The island stretches from Siesta Key on the north to the Island of Venice to the south. A single north-south road runs down the middle of the island just where the ancient Indian’s horses trod; the islands width averages less than one-quarter mile.
The Casey Key Conservation Act of 1970 designated the island as a marine and wildlife sanctuary. There are ample opportunities for bird-watching, since the mangroves and wild sea oats provide a habitat for numerous species of native birds. Sea turtles also frequent the island, and visitors can spot pods of dolphins swimming in the channel quite close to shore, as well as endangered manatees and other aquatic wildlife.
The island is a conservation area and, as such, is relatively unspoiled by development, making it an ideal location for a quiet, relaxing vacation.
