About this piece

This stretch of coast is a ladder of famous keys: Longboat, Lido, Siesta with its quartz-white sand that stays cool underfoot and keeps landing atop best-beach rankings, then Casey Key and on down to Venice, where the beaches give up fossilized shark teeth by the handful. Behind the keys, Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal thread the whole run, and the passes, Big Pass, Midnight Pass, Venice Inlet, punch through to the Gulf. The staining splits the waters plainly: pale flats inside the bays, deepening Gulf blues beyond the beach line.

The UV series carries no acrylic, so the chain of keys runs bare under your fingertip end to end, and the printing keeps every pass and bayfront neighborhood legible.

Whether your ritual is a Siesta sunset or a shark-tooth sifter at Caspersen, your stretch of sand anchors this map.

The print spans downtown Sarasota and the Ringling bayfront, St. Armands and Lido, Siesta Key, Osprey and Casey Key, Nokomis, and Venice with its jetties at the inlet.
