More commonly known as the "South Jetty" or Casey's Pass to area residents, Humphris Park is widely known as the perfect spot for fishing, surfing (during season), picnics, sailboat watching, and enjoying the beautiful Florida sunsets along the Gulf of Mexico. Located at the very end of Tarpon Center Drive on the Island of Venice, the 2-mile park is a great place to relax. This is a wonderful spot to bring the whole family as there are restrooms on-site, picnic table, park benches, and of course, the iconic Anita's Sandcastle.

Every coastal town has one of those places where the boaters can tie up their boats and come in their t-shirts and flip-flops for a great bite to eat. Along the Gulf Coast in Osprey that place is Spanish Pointe Pub & Marina. Located right on Little Sarasota Bay, just south of Historic Spanish Point, the Spanish Pointe Pub is a popular, laid-back eatery known by the locals for its delicious grouper sandwiches and cold beverages. Order at the outside window and sit at one of the many picnic tables adorned with red and blue umbrellas. Don't expect white … (0 comments)
herron group: Fireworks in Paradise (Reflections of a Proud American)
- 07/03/09 04:19 AM
The approach of the 4th of July holiday weekend brings on a time of reflection. Reflection of the struggles we overcame to become the great nation we are today. Despite the economic hardships we face as a nation; despite the political, religious, and sociological differences we face as a people, we come together every year at this time to celebrate our independence.
The first Independence Day celebration was said to take place in Philadelphia in 1777. They held an official dinner, 13-gun salute, parades, picnics, fireworks, and decorated in red, white, and blue. Today we celebrate in much the … (0 comments)
"Electric" is defined as selecting what appears to be best in various doctrines, methods, or styles and the Curry Creek Café does just that. They take the best in various types of cooking styles and serve them up with a hometown feel.
Housed in a diner-style building on Tamiami Trail South in Nokomis, just South of Casey Key this little-known gem is anything but "diner style'. Once you get past the building and its dirt parking lot you will find some of the most outstanding food in Sarasota County.
The dining area is small but its charm is … (0 comments)
herron group: Casey Key Community Library—Hidden Treasures
- 06/05/09 05:16 AM
Casey Key is laden with hidden treasures; gems of nature and community that makes this island truly home. Residents don't even seem to mind that the Blackburn Point swing bridge is out for repairs; it gives everyone a chance to drive the isle from tip to top-eight miles of beauty and neighbors; yards in full bloom; palm trees reminding us of the tropical delight that is Casey Key, Florida. Just the other day, I took a guest for a joyride from one end of the island to the other. The sun was shining; breezes blowing; and Casey Key was looking … (0 comments)
herron group: Sarasota’s Chillounge Night—what a gorgeous night!
- 03/23/09 12:18 PM
The Chillounge Night party planners couldn't have been more pleased with Saturday night's balmy, breezy weather-what an incredible night to be enjoying the music and the magic of Sarasota's Palm Avenue. We arrived at this 2nd annual outdoor party before sunset-and a marvelous Sarasota sunset it was-and can't rave enough about total transformation we found on the street. (Brilliant idea-turning the street into an outdoor lounge complete with classy couches and comfortable seating areas.... "Magic" seems to be the only good word to describe it.) At the VIP lounge, we enjoyed chatting with old friends and catching up. Everyone seemed to … (0 comments)

The real estate profession is like any other-it often comes down to networking; being out there; being present when it counts. Building long-term relationships in the community means you must make an effort to support good causes and mingle with the townspeople-especially when it's outstanding fun! Here in Sarasota and her island neighbors, we live in such a classy, upscale town and every now and then a party comes along that perfectly highlights the strengths of what Sarasota has to offer. We're anticipating one classy party on March 21 at the second annual Chillounge Night. This is a street party full … (0 comments)

- 03/02/09 08:43 AM
"Brand awareness" is a marketing buzzword; create your brand and make it stand out. In real estate, if you plan to be here for the long haul, the biggest boost to your brand is to create a tradition of excellence. Speaking of traditions..."Stand by for news!" was the trademark call that Paul Harvey announced on his popular radio broadcasts. Here's a nod to this treasured American icon, who passed away this weekend at age 90. Harvey worked for ABC Radio Networks for more than 50 years, telling tales of American living with that distinctive voice. Paul Harvey led a long, creative, … (0 comments)
