Coon Key Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Coon Key sits in the waters off Sarasota, offering a quiet, protected spot to drop anchor away from the busier marinas and tourist strips. The surrounding mangroves and calm flats give it a genuinely wild, unhurried feel that's hard to find this close to a city. You're well-positioned to dinghy into Siesta Key or explore the nearby intracoastal channels from here.
