Things to Do on the Shores of Lido Beach

With more than 3,000 feet of soft-white sand, Lido Beach is the perfect place for a peaceful day along the shoreline. Whether you spend the day on the beach with a good book or out in the water, there are plenty of things to do on this popular spot on Lido Key. 

  • Because there are year-round lifeguards, this is a great place for families to go swimming. The gentle waves and clear water of the Gulf make it great for wading with kids or simply cooling off.
  • Grab your favorite book, pack a bag of snacks, sunscreen, and water, and relax on the beach. Stop by one of the on-site concessionaires to rent an umbrella and chair to make your time on the shoreline even more relaxing.
  • Go for a sunset walk. Lido Beach is known for its beautiful Gulf Coast sunsets, making evening strolls one of the most memorable experiences. Keep your eyes out for shells and shark teeth.
  • See if you can spot a dolphin. These popular aquatic animals are often visible offshore in the morning or near sunset. 
  • Go kayaking or paddleboarding on a rental from Paradise Adventures or Happy Paddler. Head to South Lido for kayaking trails through mangrove tunnels. You may just spot a manatee on your adventure.

After your day at the beach, head to St. Armands Circle to enjoy a post-beach ice cream treat.
