Avid anglers enjoy Sarasota's offshore and backwater fishing. The healthy sea grass beds and mangroves that border Longboat Key are ripe with snook, speckled trout, and redfish, while Cobia and tarpon cruise the beaches. Lighted docks provide the most avid trawlers night time fishing. For adventurous types, there's windsurfing, boogie boarding, parasailing, and all the watery amusements that are standard in any beach destination worth its salt. Warm, clear water and year-round sunshine will tempt even the most timid of swimmers to catch a few waves.
