What to know before you go
Bayfront Park on Longboat Key is an easy Sarasota Bay launch with both a bayside beach entry and a floating dock designed for paddlecraft. The park also has a wash station, free parking, and public recreation facilities.
This is a convenient choice for kayaks and paddleboards when you want calmer bay access rather than an open-Gulf beach launch. The launch is generally available from sunrise to sunset. Rentals and public storage options may also be available through local providers, so check current availability if you are not bringing your own gear.
