Lido Beach Casino Sarasota Florida
In 1926, Lido Key was opened to vehicle traffic and the Lido Beach Casino, a former top attraction to the island, was also opened this year. Around this time, John Ringling and other developers built a dock, bath facilities and pavilion worth $30,000 directly south of where Lido Beach Park currently exists. The Florida Department of Health (DOH) does not sample for this bacteria because it is commonly found in warm, brackish and sea water and in shellfish, especially during the summer months. DOH is constantly monitoring reportable diseases and has appropriate ways to alert the public if needed. In 1926, Lido Key opened to automobile traffic, the Lido Beach Casino opened, and John Ringling, Samuel Gumpertz, and Owen Burns built a $30,000 pavilion, dock, and bathhouses just south of where the Lido Beach park sits presently. However, by the 1950s, poor management resulted in.

Description[edit]
The island features numerous sandy beaches facing the Gulf of Mexico, as well as a park called 'South Lido Park', which has a beach and a woodland trail.[citation needed] The island is well developed with a wide variety of luxury hotels and beach houses, and has a seasonal nightclub scene. While not as popular as Siesta Key Beach, Lido Key Beach is reviewed as a more private beach that is more relaxing for the tourists who come from around the world to visit it. Weddings and other private parties will often book a section of the beach for their guests.[1]
