Lido beach
beach★ 4.8 (987)
400 Benjamin Franklin Dr ↗Lido shares Siesta Key's pure white quartz sand but sees fewer visitors than its famous neighbor. The shoreline was just rebuilt in a May 2026 renourishment, so the beach is at its widest for summer. Lido Island Grill's walk-up window sits at the pavilion, and about 400 free parking spaces mean you're not circling for a spot.
Best time to go
Summer 2026 — the shoreline was renourished in May, widest and freshest right as the season ramps up.
Local tip
Order the lobster roll at Lido Island Grill's walk-up window — a holdover favorite from the old concession stand at the pavilion.
Hours
Beach park 5am–11pm; restrooms 7am–11pm; pool currently closed for maintenance
