Casey Key

Casey Key is a narrow eight-mile-long barrier island off the coast of Southwest Florida, between Sarasota and Venice. Named in honor of US Army Captain John Charles Casey, the barrier island extends from Siesta Key south towards the island of Venice, providing boaters with easy access to the Gulf of Mexico.

In addition to its stunning views and fun recreational activities, Casey Key is also an excellent option for growing families, as children living here can attend Pine View School for the Gifted which serves grades 2-12 and is the #1 rated public school in America.

Casey Key

History

Most of Casey Key was established as a conservation district in the 1970s by the Florida State Legislature, which gave the island the tranquil, secluded environment and picturesque quality it is blessed with today. Indeed, a large part of Casey Key’s charm lies in what you can’t find in the island – towering buildings, a winding network of roads, and bustling commercial hubs are absent due to building restrictions. Here, visitors and residents can simply soak in the island’s breathtaking scenery while spending relaxing days enjoying the wealth of activities the island has to offer.
