spectacular Painted Bunting. Small ponds with open fields
attract a wide variety of wildlife, especially migratory and
nesting birds and colorful butterflies. The preserve features
unique photography blinds, letting you capture great
photographs.

Greer Island Beach *
At the northernmost
tip of Longboat Key
and just south of
Leffis Key Preserve,
Greer Island Beach
offers great
opportunities to see
the area's shorebirds
in action. Black
Skimmers, Willets, Red Knots, Black-bellied Plovers and
American Oystercatchers winter on the sandy beach here,
sometimes in large numbers. Sanderlings and Ruddy
Turnstones are present all year. Access the beach by boat,
or park at the west end of Broadway Street and follow the
short boardwalk to the beach. Popular with beachgoers
and boaters, so get there early in the day.
Open daily, sunrise to 10 p.m.
West end of Broadway St., Longboat Key
