Lido Key Beach is a small key located in the Gulf of Mexico, attached to Sarasota, FL by the John Ringling Causeway. The white sugar sand, tropical breezes, and teal waters are chicken soup to the soul for locals and tourist alike. We all are hoping the recent oil spill does not affect our region, and our beautiful coastline remains intact. This is my home, my vacation spot, and many memories are buried deep in the sand..as our foot prints are washed away with the tides.   Submitted By: CAROLYN BISTLINE
