When you’re staying in Lido Key, there is no limit to the number of
fun activities that you can experience.

Sarasota Shopping at the Farmers Market
Every single Saturday of the year, from 7 a.m. until 1 p.m., the Sarasota Farmers Market welcomes guests from far and wide. They’ve actually been doing so since 1979! You can get any farmer’s market good you could think of here, from fresh produce and homemade snacks to candles, soaps, apparel, home décor, and so much more! All the businesses here are Sarasota locals, so you can get a unique piece while enjoying the weather and supporting local enterprises!
Experience Gulf Gate

You’ll find restaurants and markets representing all different areas globally, from Mexico to Australia to Belgium, France, Hungary, Korea, and more!

You can come to Gulf Gate simply to grab a bite to eat or find a unique souvenir at one of the gift shops.
