Casey Key and Nokomis Real Estate - Janet Oberholtzer

Beautiful Casey Key and Nokomis

Casey Key and Nokomis are along the Gulf Coast of Florida in Sarasota County about halfway between Tampa and Fort Myers. Both Casey Key and Nokomis provide a perfect place to be living the dream!

Bordered by the beautiful cities of Sarasota and Venice, this area is justifiably known for its fantastic location, unique restaurants, and beautiful residential areas. In addition to the attractions in nearby bustling Sarasota to the north and historical Venice to the south, Casey Key and Nokomis offer lovely Gulf beaches and fishing for visitors, as well as its boat launch ramp and miles of beautiful shoreline.

At the south end of Casey Key lies the channel of water between the South and North Jetty that connects the bays and the IntraCoastal Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico. This is the North Jetty Beach, which offers a public beach, amble parking, fishing opportunities, a playground, picnic tables, and more. It also has the excellent North Jetty Tap and Grill with good food options and an outdoor setting providing excellent views when eating breakfast, lunch, or enjoying a wine/beer. Most days, there’s many boats to watch (from kayaks to fishing boats to sailboats and yachts). The jetty is also a popular spot for fishermen and seeing dolphins is a regular occurrence. It’s also a popular place at sunset.

Casey Key and Nokomis offer not one, but two public beaches: Nokomis Beach and North Jetty Beach. Nokomis Beach is Sarasota County’s oldest beach and it is the closest beach to Route 75 in Sarasota County. This is a family oriented beach with an excellent cafe, Shark Tooth Beach Concessions, along with beach showers, restrooms, and picnic tables. A community event, known as Nokomis Drum Circle happens on this beautiful Nokomis Beach every Wednesday and Saturday evening. It starts about an hour before sunset… bring your lawn chairs, dinner, drinks and enjoy watching (or joining!) the drummers, dancers, hula hoopers and more.
