A raised boardwalk winds through the mangroves and out to the bay at the Sarasota Baywalk on City Island. The hidden oasis near Mote Marine is a great place to take a stroll along the mangrove ecosystem along Sarasota Bay. (Photo: November 11, 2014)

Ken Thompson Park

Sarasota, Florida: Situated on the banks of Sarasota Bay near the northern tip of Lido Key lies a 92 acres park that is a haven for shorebirds. Ken Thompson Park is surrounded by water on three sides making it a recreation hot spot for activities ranging from hiking to boating. The park operated by Sarasota County Parks features plenty of amenities including hiking trails, playground, picnic facilities and a boat ramp. Also located within walking distance from the park are two popular tourist attractions, Mote Marine and Save our Seabirds.  There is even a full-service restaurant, bait shop and marina within walking distance.
