Coquina Beach Baywalk
at Leffis Key Preserve *
Located on the
south end of Anna
Maria Island, Leffis
Key Preserve has a
prominent 26-foot
hill providing a
panoramic view of
Sarasota Bay and the
Gulf of Mexico.
Packed shell trails and boardwalks traverse a splendid
combination of mangroves, mudflats, tidal ponds and
coastal ridge providing habitat for Yellow-crowned
Night-Heron, Reddish Egret and more. You'll find
neotropical migrants in spring and fall such as Yellowthroated Vireo. Rarities and vagrants often drop by this
location, such as La Sagra's Flycatcher and occasionally,
American White Pelican.
Open daily, sunrise to sunset.
