About Emerald Harbor
Emerald Harbor is a bayside enclave of 82 homes on the north end of Longboat Key, spread across three quiet streets — Emerald Harbor Drive, Binnacle Point Drive, and Old Compass Road. The neighborhood was designed around its signature feature: the widest lagoon-style canals on Longboat Key, deep enough for sailboat keels and yachts up to 60 feet, with direct, bridge-free access to Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway.
Homes sit on generously sized lots and range from original old-Florida ranches to newer Key West and Mediterranean-style construction built to modern flood and hurricane standards. Residents also enjoy the amenity most canal neighborhoods can't offer: private deeded beach access directly across Gulf of Mexico Drive, maintained by the neighborhood's voluntary association.
Emerald Harbor suits boaters first, especially those with larger vessels who need canal width and depth that most of the island can't accommodate. It also fits buyers seeking oversized waterfront lots for new construction, in an established neighborhood with a relaxed, residential feel.
