Lido Beach Ordinance

Per county regulation, there's absolutely no over night camping allowed. Due to turtle nesting season, beachgoers will never be allowed in the coastline until sunrise so that turtle nesting inspections usually takes spot. No glass or animals are permitted. In addition in place across 4th of July holiday weekend on Lido Beach is newly enacted Sarasota City Code Sec. 21-44which regulates, among other things, the storage of unattended personal property on community residential property. The Sarasota Police Department will likely to be publishing indications in advance of the 4th of July vacation weekend prohibiting beachgoers from saving, and making unattended, personal residential property regarding coastline. City Code Sec. 21-44 expands the prohibition under the Sarasota County Sea Turtle coverage Ordinancebeyond "temporary construction left instantly" to prohibit beachgoers from saving and leaving unattended any individual property on Lido Beach throughout the 4th of July getaway week-end. This is for the protection of all beachgoers, not just the sea turtle kind, to ensure a safe, orderly and peaceful beach-going experience. Thank you for helping us to ensure that!
