The Remarkable History of the John Ringling CausewayYou can reach Bird Key by water, or by air if you take a helicopter, but if you’re going to drive to Bird Key there’s only one way to get there: via John Ringling Causeway. It is a causeway – actually 3 causeways – with a long and famous history. These causeways are the primary reason that Bird Key ever emerged as a popular travel and home destination. In 1925, construction began on the initial Ringling Causeway. John Ringling purchased large amounts of acreage on what are now known as Longboat Key and Lido Key. He sought to develop these barrier islands – even naming them “Ringling Isles.” Ringling soon sold more than $1,000,000 worth of lots, and he quickly realized that a bridge was needed to open the barrier islands so they would b...

If you're looking for a perfect home on Florida's Gulf Coast, don't overlook beautiful Bird Key, one of the most exclusive residential communities anywhere. It's a majestic barrier island in Sarasota Bay, 250 beautifully-sculpted acres of the most magnificent homes on the coast. Bird Key is a tranquil community connected to downtown Sarasota by the John Ringling Causeway Bridge. And unlike the other nearby islands, high-rise condominiums can't be found on Bird Key. It's all single-family homes. Bird Key sits in the center of everything, only minutes from beaches and world-class shopping and dining. Yet Bird Key's quiet, tucked-away ambience assures that this exclusive enclave of homes remains serene and unpretentious. To call Bird Key a boater’s delight is an understatement. Many of the...
