Golden Gate Point, formerly known as “Cedar Point” when John Ringling bought this piece of land in 1920, is a 22-acre peninsula located one block from Sarasota Downtown. This 22-acre peninsula is on your left-hand side, shortly before you hit the new Ringling Causeway bridge on your way to Lido Key.
Surprisingly, It took many decades before Golden Gate Point captured the attention of developers. Usually, developers are faster, much faster. Whatever the reason, for such a long-time nobody, discovered the potential of this little gem. But eventually, it was awakening from a 100-year sleep.
In the 90’s developers eventually noticed that this little peninsular had the potential to become the best waterfront location in Sarasota. The location is just great. Golden Gate Point is located only a few hundred yards east of the Ringling Bridge, convenient to downtown restaurants, theaters and Marina Jack’s. The peninsula is also less than two miles away from St Armand’s Circle and the beautiful beaches. This perfect location provides incredible opportunities because most of the amenities are within walking distance.
Walk to Downtown Sarasota
Walkability is the new keyword. Many people now prefer to be within walking distance to restaurants and other amenities. Does it make sense? Only you can decide for yourself, dear reader.
Extensive landscaping and beautification projects have recently been completed on Golden Gate Point. Now the homeowners and their guests can enjoy an evening stroll on the fresh sidewalks or sit on benches to watch the sunset.

The shade is definitely most needed during the hot summer months.
