Bird Key is a man-made island located just off the causeway between St. Armands Circle and Sarasota, FL. Bird Key is one of the most exclusive communities in all of Florida, home to Jerry Springer and Martina Navratilova, to name two.

With only 250 acres, Bird Key encompasses a mere 7 square miles of land and 3 square miles of water. Its exclusivity is apparent in its population count—less than 1,000 people are fortunate enough to call Bird Key their home. Bird Key is so named due to the number of birds that flocked there during its construction.

Located only minutes from downtown Sarasota, Bird Key is convenient to just about everything. From the gorgeous beaches of Lido Key and Longboat Key, to the shopping and fine dining in St. Armands Circle, to the throbbing nightlife of Tampa itself, Bird Key has it all.
