You might spot Stephen King, who is known to pick up dinner here. . .
But even more, I wanted to mark Blackburn Point Road on the map. One of my favorite things to do is to drive along Casey Key, look at the water and the houses. . . it's a relaxing and beautiful drive from Albee Road to Blackburn Point Road, along Casey Key Road.

Our neighborhood is filled with birds. This spring I saw white ibises, sandhill cranes, great blue herons, ospreys, and so many more! The Venice Area Audubon Rookery is not far, and known to be a wonderful place to walk and photograph birds.

While you can walk to Nokomis Public Beach, for a change of pace, hop in the car and head south after you cross the bridge to the North Jetty (at the southern tip of Casey Key!) to experience another beach with a great fishing pier and a pirate ship playground for the kids.

I like to walk to the beach for sunset every night. No two sunsets are the same. Wednesday and Saturday nights the local drum circle meets.
This beach is rarely "too busy" like Siesta Key in Sarasota. Always room for families to build sandcastles and play in the water.
Collect sharks' teeth. Swim. Avoid the crowds of the Sarasota beaches!
Hula hooping and yoga groups regularly meet at the beach.

This is a little bit of a drive -- but worth it! On Mondays, you have free admission to the art galleries and grounds. The grounds are perfect for picnics!
The Circus Museum and Ca d'Zan are amazing -- but you have to pay for them whenever you go -- even on Mondays. It's worth it to take a tour of the Ca d'Zan mansion.
