BIRD KEY OF SARASOTA

Among the finest residential areas to be found among the barrier islands off Florida's West Coast, Bird Key is a small island of some 510 up-scale residences, primarily occupied by professionals such as physicians, attorneys, corporate CEO's and retirees.

This private community affords its residents security, boating, tennis, and fine dining at the prestigious Bird Key Yacht Club, one of the finest of its type on Florida's West Coast. The Club additionally is a gathering place for residents to be entertained and to socialize.

Sailing is a favorite pastime, and many of the residences have deep water dockage. In fact, as they did in 2006, and will do again this year, the Bird Key Yacht Club will host the Sarasota Bay Cup sailing regatta. Last years participants and observers praised the event as one of the most exciting, and afforded the Bird Key Yacht Club much praise for the smooth handling of the event as well as the excellent dining and entertainment provided.

This fashionable island, comfortably settled in the serene waters of the Gulf of Mexico, affords residents privacy and security in a setting of ongoing social activities designed to enhance community bonds.
