About Jewfish Key
Jewfish Key is a private island of roughly 38 acres in the Intracoastal Waterway off the northern tip of Longboat Key. The island is reachable only by boat, with Longboat Key's marinas and restaurant docks just a few minutes away.
Homes here occupy generous lots of an acre or more and roughly half the island is preserved as natural habitat. Homes are elevated with panoramic water views, and private docks put Sarasota Bay right outside the door. The sandbar on the island's western side - a popular gathering spot for area boaters - is also a nearby option.
Life on Jewfish Key trades drive-up convenience for a privacy that exists nowhere else on Longboat Key. Groceries, dining, and errands run by boat to north Longboat Key and Anna Maria Island. Jewfish Key suits buyers for whom the boat ride is the point: true private island living just minutes from everything.

Lands End is a small gated community of 12 custom residences set among lush tropical landscaping along Longboat Key's northern tip. Shared amenities include community docks, a pool and a tennis/pickleball court.

Longbeach Village is the island's original settlement, a historic neighborhood of around 290 homes at the northern tip of Longboat Key. The homes here are a mix Old Florida cottages, bungalows and renovated coastal homes. With no HOA, no gates, and bayfront restaurants, it offers a genuine village life.
Bayou Hammock is a gated, low-density enclave known for some of the largest residential lots on Longboat Key. Consider this neighborhood if you want large waterfront lots and gated privacy rather than “community amenity” living.
