About Longboat Key
Longboat Key is an 12-mile barrier-island town of about 7,500 residents (2020 census) stretching from near Bradenton Beach down to St. Armands Circle, straddling the Manatee–Sarasota county line. It is known for quiet Gulf beaches, luxury condos and estates, golf courses, and a strict low-density character — one town government covers the whole island, but county services follow the county line. Longboat Key is treated here as a single whole-town profile.
