A simple walk for window shopping is even a popular pastime. The center of the Circle is the sight of art festivals, jazz concerts and boat shows.
The northern end of Lido Key is home to the world famous Mote Marine Laboratory which houses some of the finest marine research facilities in the world. For the public, there is also an aquarium and learning center. Ken Thompson Park is located at the end of the peninsula down the street from Mote and has spectacular views of the Causeway and downtown Sarasota and is an access point for water-based activities.
