About Beer Can Island Sandbar
Located at the northern tip of Longboat Key directly on Longboat Pass, Beer Can Island Sandbar is famous for its soft white sand and crystal-clear waters. It features a beach that morphs into a shallow sandbar inside the pass, with tidal pools and shallow waters on the inside, and deeper water further out. A popular weekend destination, it occasionally hosts a floating water park anchored just offshore.
