Waterfront communities between Sarasota and Venice
Tucked between Sarasota and Venice, Nokomis and Osprey offer a quieter pace of Gulf Coast living with easy access to everything. These neighboring communities share Sarasota Bay and Little Sarasota Bay shoreline, putting kayaking, fishing, and boating right outside your door.
Nokomis Beach is one of the few remaining free public beaches on Florida's west coast — no parking meters, no high-rises, just sand and Gulf water. Osprey, just to the north, is home to Oscar Scherer State Park's 1,400 acres of scrub and trails. Together these communities offer the kind of authentic coastal Florida that's increasingly rare.
