The Resort at Longboat Key Club

10/10 Excellent
"This used to be our private get away - looks like the word is out and EVERYONE brought their kids. Our room was next to a tyrannical screaming two year old boy whose parents could have cared less. Front office was incredibly generous at finding us a new room (with upgraded suite) and a bar credit. Props to the staff as they got through a tough March - "

Which area of Longboat Key is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Longboat Key for beaches is along the northern and southern stretches of Gulf of Mexico Drive.

Longboat Key is a long, narrow barrier island, with Gulf of Mexico Drive running its entire length. This road is essentially the main artery, with most accommodation options, from luxury resorts to private rentals, situated directly on the beachfront or just a short walk away. The entire island is bordered by beautiful white sand beaches, so you're never far from the water.

Couples looking for a serene and relaxing beach holiday will find the quieter, residential areas towards the northern end of the Key, close to the Longboat Key Club, particularly appealing. Here, you'll find elegant resorts and condominiums offering direct beach access, often with amenities like private balconies overlooking the Gulf, high-end fitness equipment, and several swimming pools. It's ideal for those who appreciate tranquil surroundings and direct access to uncrowded sands for strolls and sunbathing.

For those who appreciate a bit more activity while still prioritising beach access, the southern end of Longboat Key, closer to St. Armands Circle, is a good option. While still very focused on the beach, this area offers easier access to a wider selection of dining and shopping options just off the island.

The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Longboat Key is from late February through to May. During these months, the weather is beautifully warm and sunny, with temperatures typically ranging from 22°C to 28°C, creating ideal conditions for enjoying the pristine beaches and outdoor activities.

This period sees a lively option across the island, superb for families and couples looking to make the most of the Gulf Coast sunshine. The comfortable weather is superb for long walks along the shore, swimming in the warm Gulf waters, or kayaking through the mangroves. Many beach hotels offer special events and activities during this peak time, ensuring a vibrant stay.

For a great alternative, consider visiting in October. The weather remains wonderfully pleasant for beach activities, with average temperatures still in the mid-20s. You may find better value on luxurious beachfront accommodations and it can be easier to secure reservations at the island's most sought-after restaurants.

What beach activities should we do in Longboat Key?

The beaches along Longboat Key are known for their soft, white sand and calm, clear waters, making them superb for leisurely days. You'll find plenty of space to spread out, whether you're looking to simply sunbathe, read a book, or take a refreshing dip in the Gulf. The gentle waves are ideal for families with children, allowing for stress-free swimming and splashing.

For those who enjoy a bit of exploration, shelling is a popular activity, especially in the mornings or after a storm. You can often find a variety of seashells along the shoreline, providing a fun treasure hunt for all ages. Walking along the expansive beaches is also a great way to enjoy the scenery and spot local wildlife like seabirds.

Couples often appreciate the peaceful nature of Longboat Key's beaches, which are less crowded than some of the more well-known Florida destinations. It's a lovely setting for romantic strolls at sunset or simply enjoying each other's company by the water.

Families will find the calm waters and uncrowded shores particularly appealing. Children can play safely in the shallows, build sandcastles, and look for shells without the hustle and bustle of busier beaches.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Longboat Key as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Longboat Key for you.
