Now’s a Very Good Time to Beach

September might just be one of Longboat Key’s best-kept secrets. The summer crowds have thinned, there’s more room to spread out on the sand, and the days move at an easy, unhurried pace. Add daily happy hour at Viento from 5–6:30 p.m., and you’ve got a pretty good reason to keep summer going long after Labor Day.
